The optical transceiver module is functionally divided into several modules, including optical receiver modules, optical transmitter modules, integrated optical transceiver modules, and optical repeater modules.
The integrated optical transceiver module primarily performs photoelectric/electro-optical conversion, including optical power control, modulation and transmission, signal detection, IV conversion, and limiting, amplification, decision, and regeneration functions. It also includes functions such as anti-counterfeiting information query and TX-disable. Common types include SFP, SFF, SFP+, GBIC, XFP, and 1x9.
In addition to photoelectric conversion, the optical repeater module integrates many signal processing functions, such as MUX/DEMUX, CDR, function control, power acquisition, and monitoring. Common optical repeater modules include 200/300pin, XENPAK, and X2/XPAK.
The integrated optical transceiver module, also known as a transceiver or simply an optical module or fiber optic module, is a crucial component in fiber optic communication systems.
By Parameter Classification:
Pluggability: Hot-swappable and non-hot-swappable
Packaging Forms: SFP, GBIC, XFP, Xenpak, X2, 1X9, SFF, 200/3000pin, XPAK
Transmission Rate: Transmission rate refers to bits transmitted per second, measured in Mb/s or Gb/s. Optical module products cover the following main rates: low speed, 100Mbps, Gigabit, 2.5G, 4.25G, 4.9G, 6G, 8G, 10G, and 40G.
