About this tag
The attenuation tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about signal loss in optical fiber, particularly a recent breakthrough in hollow-core fiber technology. A thread highlights a Microsoft and University of Southampton collaboration achieving 0.091 dB/km attenuation at 1550 nm, a result that could surpass traditional silica fiber limits and impact long-haul and data-center networks. The tag focuses on optical communications research and its implications for network infrastructure, with no coverage of Windows, Microsoft software, or enterprise IT beyond the Microsoft research involvement.
