Five leading global companies intend to enter into a multi-source agreement
(MSA) to create the CDFP (400 Gb/s form-factor pluggable) industry consortium to
define a transceiver module/plug mechanical form factor and a host-board
electrical edge connector and cage. They are: Avago Technologies, Brocade
Communications Systems, JDS Uniphase Corporation, Molex Incorporated, and TE
Connectivity.

During the day, sunlight is captured and channeled into lighting fixtures, then at night, the fluorescent bulb takes over. On the roof, sunlight is captured using a large dish that tracks the sun. The concentrated light is channeled through the building with bundles of optical fibers.
Chile - Codelco says new uses of copper may boost demand by 300,000t/y - 1 views
-
Chilean copper producer Codelco expects that new uses of copper, mainly related to its antimicrobial capacity, will boost world demand by 300,000t/y within the next eight years. Potential end use sectors include copper fiber clothes, copper mesh cages for fish farming, and copper surfaces in health care centres and public transport. Codelco participates in development programmes which aim to promote the benefits of using copper.
EU - Proposal to discourage copper usage in telecoms networks - 0 views
-
A proposal was made by the European Union (EU) to force telecoms operators to lower their charges to firms who rent their copper networks. Firms that utilise fibre-optic networks would however be exempt from this regulation. The EU believes fibre-optic to be a worthwhile investment that will dramatically improve European infrastructure in the future.
