Classification of Transceiver Modules

Transceiver modules can be classified into different categories based on several different criteria. Package, transmission distance, wavelength, work rate, fiber mode, and connector type are all the common characteristics used for defining fiber optic transceivers. The following is a…

Five Tips to Purchase of a Transceiver Module

A transceiver is a combination of a transmitter and a receiver in a single device where they function independently for bidirectional communication. Furthermore, transceiver modules are hot-swappable I/O (input/output) devices which plug into module sockets. The transceiver acts…

SFP+ Transceiver

SFP+ is a kind of fiber optic transceiver for the conversion of light and electricity signals, its full name is enhanced small form-factor pluggable. SFP+ is the upgraded version of SFP which can transmit a faster speed of 10 Gbps. It has the same appearance and connector as SFP but can provide a…

CFP Transceiver

In the near future, 100G network will be applied as mainstream. In order to meet people’s need,CFP transceiver is developed for a faster transmission of light and electricity information. CFP is short for Centum Form-factor Pluggable, it is a new type transceiver for the 100G fiber optical network…

X2 Transceiver

X2 is an updated product of XENPAK, it is a kind of optical transceiver for the transition of light and electricity in electro-optical communication. Based on the same function of transmitting 10G signal and same connectors as XENPAK, X2 transceiver is created to be only half the volume of XENPAK…

CFP4 Transceiver

CFP4 is an optical transceiver module to transmit and receive light or electricity information. It is an upgraded version of CFP2 which reaches a smaller size of only 21mm width, that is one quarter the size of CFP and half the size of CFP2. CFP4 is applied for 100G Ethernet communication and long…

GBIC Transceiver

GBIC stands for gigabit interface converter, which is a fiber optic transceiver module used for optical communication. Also, it is the first standardized optical transceiver which can transmit or receive over 1 gigabit signals in the Gigabit Ethernet. After its appearance in 2000, people could…

XENPAK Transceiver

XENPAK is short for 10 Gigabit Ethernet Transceiver Package. When the Ethernet Network involved into a 10G network, XENPAK was invented to support the fiber optical telecommunication of such speed. It has been put into use since 2001 and belongs to one of the earlist 10G transceivers, nowadays…

QSFP28 Transceiver

QSFP28 is a 4-channel transceiver available for the transmission and reception of light and electricity data in fiber communication. 28 stands for the highest possible rate of 4x28Gbps in transmission. Compared with SFP+ and product, it is capable of transmitting the information on 100G…

QSFP Transceiver

Today, people are no longer satisfied with 10G bandwidth in network communication, therefore 40G QSFP transceiver is designed to replace SFP whose transmission speed is at most 10Gbps. QSFP is the acronym for Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable, it is a fiber optic transceiver with four channels used…
