IP Terminology:

You’ll learn several important terms vital to your understanding of
the Internet Protocol. Here are a few to get you started:
Bit A bit is one binary digit, either a 1 or a 0.
Byte A byte is 7 or 8 bits, depending on whether parity is used. For the rest here,
always assume a byte is 8 bits.
Octet An octet, made up of 8 bits, is just an ordinary 8-bit binary number. here,
the terms byte and octet are completely interchangeable, and they are typically displayed in
decimal up to 255.

Small Form Factor Fiber-Optic Connectors:

Another cool fiber-optic connector is the small form factor (SFF) connector, which
allows more fiber-optic terminations in the same amount of space than its standard-sized
counterparts. The two most popular versions are the mechanical transfer registered jack
(MT-RJ or MTRJ), designed by AMP, and the Local Connector (LC), designed by Lucent.

Fiber-Optic Transceivers:

Fiber-optic transceivers can be either unidirectional (simplex) or bidirectional (duplex).
Let’s look at both standards:
Bidirectional Bidirectional communication is possible if the cable used is following the
EEE 802.3ah 1000BASE-BX10-D and 1000BASE-BX10-U standards. The communication
over a single strand of fiber is achieved by separating the transmission wavelength of the
two devices.

Fiber Distribution Panel:

Fiber distribution panels (FDP) are termination and distribution systems for fiber optic
cable facilities. It consists of a cable management tray and a splice drawer. They are
designed for central offices, remote offices and LANs using fiber optic facilities.
