What do a and b mean on a fiber optic switch

What do a and b mean on a fiber optic switch

The TIA-568 standard defines three MPO polarity types: Type A (Straight-Through), Type B (Crossed), and Type C (Pair-Flipped). In Type A polarity, fiber positions on both ends of the MPO connector map one-to-one (position 1→position 1, position 2→position 2, and so. Fiber optics relies on a bidirectional transmission where the transmitter port on one end connects to the receiver port on the other end. Since fiber optic links require a two-way - or duplex - connection, there is potential for errors in installation by connecting transmitter to transmitter or. Fiber polarity is the direction that light signals travel from one end of a fiber optic cable (link) to the other. A link's transmit sig...
