Endpoint requirements record
Record both hosts, exact module identities, port modes and the requirements that must agree across a link.
Technical downloads
Engineering guides and practical worksheets for documenting endpoints, fiber paths, coherent routes and phased deployments.
These are editorial engineering references and blank planning worksheets. They do not replace a released model datasheet, product-specific warranty or qualification record. Every PDF includes its scope and revision. Markdown files are editable.
Planning worksheets
Fiber-path record
Record the physical path, connector positions, polarity, losses and measured continuity between endpoints.
Coherent planning inputs
Keep exact operating modes, line-system conditions and optical measurements together before evaluating a coherent route.
Deployment supply brief
Describe phased demand, specifications, qualification evidence and delivery requirements without inventing commitments.
Engineering guides
DAC, ACC, AEC, or AOC?
Choose with both hosts and the installed route in view.
Define the coherent operating envelope.
A distance label is only the beginning of a DCI specification.
Polish, pins, keys, and viewing direction.
Describe the mating interface completely.
Duplex, parallel, or breakout?
Choose the optical path before choosing the assembly.
Ethernet and InfiniBand host requirements.
Keep protocol, lane mode and software together.
Inspect, clean, and verify.
Use observations to guide work on the optical connection.
Jacket material and safety rating.
Specify construction and certification independently.
Choose the optical interface.
Start with the path between the ports. Then resolve the module and host requirements.
Trace the complete strand map.
Verify where every populated position terminates.
Coding, fit, and qualification.
Three separate questions sit behind a supported connection.
