In designing recent Xlight products, RiT leveraged the Company's industry-leading experience and multi-disciplinary know-how in the areas of IIM, fiber optic technologies and datacenter networking requirements. To support next-generation data rates, RiT's fiber optic solutions are offered in Multi-Mode OM4 fibers to increase bandwidth and long distance channels, and Single-Mode fibers with low-water pick and bend insensitive capabilities.
