Fiber polarity matters: the shift to smarter polarity mapping

Fiber connections depend on polarity. As information flows back and forth across the network, proper polarity completes the link in a fiber system: It makes sure the transmitted signal at one end matches the receiving fiber at the other end. If it doesn’t match, then poor network performance is the result.

TIA standards updates focus on industrial and fiber applications
