Generally, we buy two types of optical transceivers: original optical transceivers and compatible optical transceivers. If you have sufficient funds, you can directly order original optical modules from the original manufacturer, such as Cisco optical transceivers, Huawei optical transceivers, etc. However, if you want to choose a third-party compatible optical module with low cost and high efficiency, you must balance quality and Compatibility, when you buy a compatible optical module from your third-party manufacturer, how should you judge the quality of the optical module? This article provides you with some judgment indicators.
1. The optical module must comply with the MSA multi-source protocol
Module manufacturers need to pass CE, ROHS, FCC certification, etc. The multi-source agreement (MSA) standard specifies the interface and size of the module, and our self-produced modules can provide optical modules with the same functions as the switch brand based on this agreement. Module, while ensuring that the optical module is compatible with a variety of original equipment.
2. The optical transceiver module should have DOM/DDM function
With DOM or DDM function information, so that users can monitor the real-time parameters of the optical module. The specific parameters include working temperature, working voltage, working current, transmitting and receiving optical power, etc. In addition, it can also display the factory information of the module, prompting alarms/warnings, etc., so that the module information can be understood more intuitively.
3. Compatibility
At present, there are many compatible optical transceiver module manufacturers on the market, and the quality is uneven, so you can pay attention to understand their testing capabilities and quality control capabilities. The testing process of the optical modules of the regular manufacturers is very complete, which can ensure the quality of the optical modules. Performance, but some small manufacturers will not be so patient, so maybe the optical module will not be used when it is bought back.
4. Use an optical power detector to test whether its optical power is consistent with the parameters in the data manual. If the discrepancy is too large, it is a second-hand optical module.
5. After-sales policy
For example, the optical module market generally provides one to five years warranty. Of course, the longer the warranty period, the more assured.
GZCOM is a high-speed communication product and solution provider that connects and guarantees global data centers, enterprises and telecommunication networks. It is an industry-leading professional optical network transmission solution provider integrating R&D, production, and sales. It is also a comprehensive national high-tech enterprise with R&D and production capabilities to scenario application layer design, operation and maintenance capabilities.
Our optical module must pass a series of tests before leaving the factory to ensure its performance and compatibility.
