Optical fiber transceiver is an Ethernet transmission media conversion unit that interchanges short-distance twisted-pair electrical signals and long-distance optical signals. It is also called a fiber converter in many places. The product is generally used in the actual network environment where the Ethernet cable cannot be covered and the transmission distance must be extended by using optical fiber, and is usually located in the access layer application of the broadband metropolitan area network; such as: high-definition video image transmission for monitoring and security engineering; Helping to connect the last mile of fiber to the metro and beyond has also played a huge role.
Optical transceivers are generally used in practical network environments where Ethernet cables cannot cover and optical fibers must be used to extend transmission distances, and they also play a huge role in helping to connect the last mile of optical fiber to the metropolitan area network and beyond. effect. With fiber optic transceivers, it also provides an inexpensive solution for users who need to upgrade their systems from copper to fiber, for those who lack capital, manpower or time. The function of the fiber optic transceiver is to convert the electrical signal we want to send into an optical signal and send it out. At the same time, it can convert the received optical signal into an electrical signal and input it to our receiving end.
Optical transceivers usually have the following basic characteristics:
1. Provide ultra-low latency data transmission.
2. Completely transparent to network protocols.
3. A dedicated ASIC chip is used to realize wire-speed data forwarding. Programmable ASIC integrates multiple functions into one chip, and has the advantages of simple design, high reliability, and low power consumption, which can enable the device to obtain higher performance and lower cost.
4. Rack-type units offer hot-swappable capability for easy maintenance and non-disruptive upgrades.
5. The network management equipment can provide functions such as network diagnosis, upgrade, status report, abnormal situation report and control, and can provide a complete operation log and alarm log.
6. Most of the equipment adopts 1+1 power supply design, supports ultra-wide power supply voltage, and realizes power supply protection and automatic switching.
7. Supports an ultra-wide operating temperature range.
8. Support complete transmission distance (0 ~ 120 kilometers).
