●DP 1.1: Was ratified on 2 April 2007, and version 1.1a was ratified on 11 January
2008. DisplayPort 1.1 allow a maximum bandwidth of 10.8 Gbit/s (8.64 Gbit/s data rate)
over a standard 4-lane main link, enough to support 1920x1080@60Hz
●DP 1.2: Introduced on 7 January 2010, effective bandwidth to 17.28 Gbit/s support
increased resolutions, higher refresh rates, and greater color depth, maximum resolution
3840 × 2160@60Hz
●DP 1.4: Publish on 1 Mar, 2016.overall transmission bandwidth
32.4 Gbit/s ,DisplayPort 1.4 adds support for Display Stream Compression 1.2 (DSC), DSC
is a "visually lossless" encoding technique with up to a 3:1 compression ratio. Using DSC
with HBR3 transmission rates, DisplayPort 1.4 can support 8K UHD (7680 × 4320) at
60 Hz or 4K UHD (3840 × 2160) at 120 Hz with 30 bit/px RGB color and HDR. 4K at 60 Hz
30 bit/px RGB/HDR can be achieved without the need for DSC.
●Multi-mode Fiber: Fibers that support many propagation paths or transverse
modes are called multi-mode fibers, generally have a wider core diameter and are used for
short-distance communication links and for applications where high power must be
transmitted.
●Single-mode Fiber: Fiber that support a single mode are called single-mode fibers.
Single-mode fibers are used for most communication links longer than 1,000 meters
(3,300 ft).
●SFP: Small form-factor pluggable , is a compact, hot-pluggable network interface
module used for both telecommunication and data communications applications.
●Optical Fiber Connector: Terminates the end of an optical fiber, and enables quicker
connection and disconnection than splicing. The connectors mechanically couple and align
the cores of fibers so light can pass. 4 most common types of optical fiber connectors are
SC, FC, LC,ST.
●SC: (Subscriber Connector), also known as the square connector was also created
by the Japanese company – Nippon Telegraph and Telephone. SC is a push-pull coupling
type of connector and has a 2.5mm diameter. Nowadays, it is used mostly in single mode
fiber optic patch cords, analog, GBIC, and CATV. SC is one of the most popular options, as
its simplicity in design comes along with great durability and affordable prices.
