Fiber polarity matters: the shift to smarter polarity mapping

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.
