  • MD was superior to CD from a portability point of view, especially in personal players like the Walkman or car stereos.

    I had a MD car stereo in around 1997. CD quality sound, without the jumping of a CD every time you hit a pothole.

  • I work on PON and XGPON. Officially we work on a -25dB maximum, but I've seen circuits stable at around 30dB.

    It's surprising how many bad splices you can ignore before it gets problematic.

    -18.5dB is going to limit you to either a really good fibre path, or a really short one. Unless you have options with long-range SFPs? The constant progress keeps my job interesting at least.

  • This is for PON technology. 1 fibre can be split 32-ways to feed, you guessed it, 32 customers. 50g over a fibre that is split 32-ways with a minimum of 15db loss is impressive.

    I guarantee those 100gbps circuits are a single fibre all the way from the provider to the customer. And they are expensive, very expensive.

  • Meh, I use 'as discussed' when I want to commit something I have discussed over the phone, to email. So there is a paper trail when the thing that was discussed doesn't happen, or gets fucked up somehow.
