The Emerging Role of Single-Pair Cabling in Enterprise Networks

December 11, 2018

Did you know that it’s possible to support up to 1000 Mb/s Ethernet transmission rates over a 1-pair copper cable? While initially developed to support automotive applications, it is now recognized that single-pair or “BASE-T1” Ethernet could fill the gap to support industrial (e.g., RS-432 and RS-485), automation, and other low-speed connections with nonproprietary cabling, while also providing a path for them to merge with Internet of Things (IoT) devices in the enterprise space. BASE-T1 Ethernet offers many advantages, including reduced cost, operation over distances greater than 100 meters (m), delivery of dc power, and potential compatibility with traditional 4-pair cables and connectivity, making it an attractive alternative to traditional fieldbus communication protocols.

Achieving IP/Optical Convergence: Building from Existing Networks

whitePaper | July 8, 2021

Enterprise and residential market dynamics, 5G, and the cloud are driving new applications—and creating new revenue opportunities for Communications Service Providers (CSPs). But these emerging use cases are also creating challenges: new traffic patterns, the move to virtualized and distributed applications, and the need for higher bandwidth and lower latency connectivity to end-users. IP/Optical convergence can play a key role in helping CSPs address these, but where does the path to architecture evolution begin? For every CSP, the journey is unique. With Ciena’s solutions, CSPs can start—and build—from their existing networks to evolve to a more streamlined, programmatic infrastructure that can serve as the foundation for innovation in the distributed services and content era.
