ODU

ODU, or Optical Data Unit, is a standardized packaging used in high-speed fiber optic networks to transport large amounts of data. Think of it as a "data container" that groups and synchronizes internet, phone, and video data for efficient transmission over optical fiber cables. ODUs ensure data is carried reliably, maintaining quality and timing across long distances, and are essential for backbone internet infrastructure. They come in different sizes, matching various speeds, to support the increasing demand for fast, stable communication networks.
