10 Gig distance and Modal Bandwidth on MMF

I am struggling with a concept and not finding much in the way of answers. The spec sheets for SFP+ 10 Gigbit Ethernet optics list the maximum cable distance as a funtion of the fiber type (MMF or SMF), Optical Wavelength, Core diameter and Modal Bandwidth. However, there are several distance entries for similar items that only differ in their modal bandwidth.
For example a SFP-10G-SR when connected to 62.5 micron MMF lists the maximum cable distance as either 26M or 33M depending on the modal bandwidth (either 160 or 200). Is there a way to figure out what the modal bandwidth of a given fiber strand is (short of performing a full fiber characterization study)? It seems that there is no relationship between the grade of MMF (OM1, 2, or 3) since 62.5 micron fiber should all be considered OM1.
This is becoming an issue since many companies are wanting to run 10Gigabit Ethernet over some incredibly old fiber plants, and I am trying to get an handle on which distance measures listed in the spec sheets are more realistic when they list multiple distances for the same fiber type that only differ in modal bandwidth.

"unfortunately moving the buildings closer together isn't an option"
Everything comes down to money. If they want to use the older fiber, show them a cost comparison between the cost of moving the building versus installing long reach optics (10G LRM or LX4), pulling new fiber or installing a 10GE Free Space Optics link between the buildings. Just wait until the customer wants to move to 100GE links over the fiber....
For some fiber links, you may have to test by installing some 10G equipment. I have not found information regarding how long the OM1 (with low modal bandwidth) was manufactured. Fiber can be highly variable and sometimes the distance specs leave some operating margin and may support the longer link.
Good luck!

We got a new Apple TV for Christmas and it works wonderful. However, my question is this. We are on a satelitte internet system and our bandwidth is limited. Can anyone tell me what effect it will have on using up my 10 megs of bandwidth?

We got a new Apple TV for Christmas and it works wonderful. However, my question is this. We are on a satelitte internet system and our bandwidth is limited. Can anyone tell me what effect it will have on using up my 10 megs of bandwidth? If I run over the 10 mgs, the service either slows way down until it is reset on the first of the next month or I have to purchase additional bandwidth and it can get expensive.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

If you only have a 10MB limit on the Internet connection you might as well not have Internet access and certainly should not attempt to stream anything.
If the limit is 10GB, then you will need to be careful with streaming as most video is 1-3GB for a one hour show.

FCP X freezes and must force quit? I have a FCP installed on a Mac Mini (4 gig memory) and Lion OS. The import files are large ACVHD files from a Canon G10 camera. FCPX freezes and requires a force quit. Is anyone else having these problems?

I am using FCP X on both a MacMini (10.7 with 4 Gig memory) and an iMac (10.6 with 4 gig memory). The files are ACVHD files imported from a Canon G10 camcorder. FCP is constantly freezing and requiring a forced quit. Could it be that FCP X was not tested thoroughly for use on a Mac Mini?

I think it's safe to say that FCPX wasn't tested throroughly for use on anything.
with that out of the way, there are many variables as to what might cause your problems, but I don't think it's the mac mini as long as it meets the specified minimum requirements (especially the graphics card).
You might try creating a camera archive first and then importing from that.
The other issue might be the file format itself; you might need to use Clipwrap first. Maybe someone who has the same camera can chime in.

I have a 13 gig game and i have 16 gig and it says i don't have enough space

i have a 13 gig game and i have 16 gig and it says i don't have enough space

The process needs more than the 3 GB that you have to accomplish the installation. So if you want it to happen, you need to make more space.

Leg determination not picking Distance and Time from Config

Current process : User creates outbound shipment assign outbound deliveries to it and once they press 'Planning' button stages (Leg determination) are created automatically.Categories of leg determination in Shipment is set as 1.
For example if an outbound delivery is going from plant ABC warehouse 01 to customer(ship-to) XYZ. It creates a stage from plant ABC/01 to destination XYZ.
I am working on requirement where we would like the distance and Duration automatically filled-in when these stage(s) is/are created.
I've made following changes in config
1) Defined Transportation Connection Point 'ZABC' with reference to plant warehouse ABC/01
2) Defined Transportation Connection Point 'ZXYZ' with ref to customer XYZ.
3) In 'Define Route and Stages' , I've defined 'Route Stage' from ZABC to ZXYZ under Route which is used in Shipment. And within this Route Stage I've mentioned values for 'Distance', 'Total duration' and 'Travel duration'.
After these setting I am expecting values 'Distance', 'Total duration' and 'Travel duration' to be picked up during Leg Determination but it's not.
Could someone please point me in right direction.
Regards,
Pawan.

Hi,
I do not think that this does work. But if you have defined the route with stages already anyway: why do you then have a leg determination? In this case you should choose to "take over stages from route" (the field above the setting for the leg determination).

Number of concurrent a/v conference calls, and its bandwidth consumed.

I have two central sites and multiple branch sites. Each central site has one Front End pool. we are planning to replace Lync 2013 servers for hosting meetings, conferences ( audio, video and web)
My manager wants to know the number of concurrent audio/Video conference calls that our Lync Front End pools can handle and the bandwidth consumed by these calls. Can anyone here help with this or point me to where to find the right tool. I have tried using
Bandwidth calculator, it was not working well for me.

For Audio, assuming G722 (without FEC) it will be about 96Kbps per stream. So in theory that would be
over 1000 calls on 100Mb, however that doesn't take into account any other traffic that would be on the link.
For H.264 Video it can be anywhere up to 4000Kbps (HD), but it's unlikely that all your end points would be running 1920x1080 resolution and they will all negotiate differently. So without knowing a lot about your environment I would say on average (which
is just that between min to max around 50 video streams) or 128-250 streams at lower resolutions - so traffic through phones and slow connections (320x180-16:9/ 212x160-4:3 to 640x360-16:9/640x480-4:3) and
25-50 streams at the higher resolutions. So HD cameras and rooms systems, etc. Once again not taking into account other things on the network.
With regards to the pool themselves, follow the hardware specifications required which you can check using the capacity planning tool http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36828 the
supported maximum however for a large conference on a single pool is 250 participants.
As I mentioned it's almost impossible to give definitive numbers because there are so many variables, but hopefully this helps a little.

Why is my new Mac telling me my hard drive is full? It says I have 100 gigs used and I should have another 400 gigs of storage left. What is up?

Are you using FileVault perchance?

Will a new iMac 27 inch Quad i7 with only 4 gig RAM and 1 terabyte HD

Will this stock computer i7 Quad with the stock RAM and HD run Final Cut Studio 3 full suite effectively for basic HD editing from my new Canon hard drive/SD camcorder or should I immediately upgrade to 8 Gig RAM and 2 Terabytes HD to get the full benefit of this computer. I would like to upgrade them both later but I want 100% performance. I'm only editing 20 to 60 minute segments right now and only a few at a time and only one open at any given time.

I'm being told that "never" load your workflow into the same hard drive as your operating system. I'm sure that's an exact and professional statement and true, when possible. With this iMac you can't run and external hard drive and download effectively at the same time in order to bypass your internal hard drive because you have only one Firewire connection.USB 2 is supposed to pause and interrupts the flow so it is said to be ineffective for this purpose. I haven't found out yet about the SD card to an external hard drive but if it does I'm still being told that color correction cannot be added because it's in your external hard drive and the only solution is two hard drives in your computer to be able to effectively do all this and that is not an option with this current version of iMac..

I just bought a 2 gig USB, AND ITS EXTREMELY SLOW HEEEELP!!

Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

How to use Garage Band to play a live gig (voice and acoustic guitar)

Hello!
I'd like to know if I could I use Garage Band to play a live gig (voice and nylon acoustic guitar).
I have an M-Audio fast Track PRO (with 2 plug-ins) as well.
Is the M-Audio Fast track strictly for recording or could it be used for live too?
And for the speaker I though about splitting the audio output from the computer into 2 and one would connect to a loudspeaker going outwards and the other towards me as a monitor.
And the set I wanted to do included a DJ.
I have the Djay spin table and the software.
Would it be possible to run GarageBand for me with the voice and guitar plugged into the M-Audio and then into the Mac and equalize it (and either record it or just play through it). And, on another screen the Djay software and also connect the spin table into the Mac and run it together with me?
Thanks,
Fernando.

just playing through GB should be fine, but recording, especially with other software running, might fail. if having a record of the event isn't the most important thing, then go for it. otherwise, i'd suggest using an audio editor to capture the event as you play though GB:

60 gig ipod and see it has no firewire cable

I just opened my 60 gig ipod and see it has no firewire cable, just a usb cable.
Where do I get a firewire cable?
and
All I have is USB V1 will it work?

the new iPods are not working with firewire... I think you can purchase a firewire cable to plug your iPod, but it will only charge the battery, no transfer is possible
your iPod will work with usb 1, but it will be slower and it won't charge the battery
so you have to buy a usb power adapter (in an Apple Store or on the Apple web site)

Health app, count steps but not count distance and running

Hi,
After update 8.2, health app not count distance and running.
Only count steps, today have 2.951 steps but total distance is 0,01km
Somebody has the same problem?
Thanks

I found a workaround!
Launch Health, open Walking+Running Distance, tap Share Data, and check all apps in here, find them, (backup if you like, ) delete them, and done!
