Multi-mode fiber has been the workhorse for fiber optic communication within a data center for years, as well as the choice for Ethernet backbones in office buildings. It has a rich history that goes all the way back to the first optical fiber standards when 100 megabits per second was a huge data rate. Anybody remember those days?

In Episode 53, we continue our conversation with Hao Dong, market technology development manager for Corning’s optical communications business. We get into the difference between single-mode and multi-mode fiber.

Coming to you live...well at Cisco Live but in person! 

We dig into the week's biggest news from Cisco Live, from the actual notes Kat took during the sessions, to Ian's adventures.

We also tackle the tough topics of what our Uber ratings are, how to pronounce "data," our thoughts on San Diego and what makes a good party at a conference. Something for everyone (especially those above a 4.9 Uber rating)! Short and sweet! 

If you came to listen to this episode to learn something about Cisco's solutions for small and medium businesses (outside of the Cisco Live updates) you should check them out here: https://id.cisco.com/app/ciscoid_aemcloudprodsaml_1/exk14lk1xf6SKDANc5d7/sso/saml
