Vitex Talks | The pros & cons of Forward Error Correction in data center & telecom optical networks

In this 5-minute Vitex Talks white board video, we’ll explain the pros and cons of Forward Error Correction (and detection) in data center and telecom networking. Learn more about Forward Error Correction (FEC) at www.VitexTech.com.

Improving bit error rate using FEC (forward error correction) in optical networking and wireless communication can be confusing. In this Vitex Talks video, we’ll explain the benefits and considerations of using Forward Error Correction to detect and correct transmission bit errors. We’ll also touch on compatibility considerations when selecting optical transceivers and network equipment.
