Overview
A Fiber Optic Transceiver is a device that uses optical technology to send
and receive data. The transceiver has the electronic component to
condition and encode/decode data into light pulses. After the encoding,
they are then sent to the other end as electrical signals. To send data
as light pulse, it makes use of a light source that is primarily controlled
by the electronic parts. To receive the light pulses, it makes use of the
photodiode semiconductor.
These pluggable receivers are easy to replace or repair and can be placed
in a variety of applications. In most cases, they do not have to be powered
down for replacement. If the device malfunctions, it just requires an
upgrade.
2. Compatible with many other devices
They are compatible with many other devices including discrete components.
They are also compatible with multiple setup across both fiber optic and
copper channels. Whether you need both long and short distance
communication, they can just apply.
3. Communication Distance
Fiber Optic Transceivers are adept at passing data and information across
fiber from one network to the next. Communication is possible because of
the copper wiring or fiber optics through which signals are being sent.
4. Data Rate
Transceivers are typically sold with the set speed that moves data. High
rates mean that there are better transfers. The speed range from 1 Gbps
to 1O Gbps. Mission critical applications will be closer to 10 Gbps range
than the other applications.
