Optical fiber transceivers, also known as photoelectric converters, are Ethernet transmission media conversion units that exchange short-distance twisted-pair electrical signals and long-distance optical signals.
Different observation angles make people have different understandings of fiber optic transceivers, such as single 10M, 100M fiber optic transceivers, 10/100M adaptive fiber optic transceivers and 1000M fiber optic transceivers according to the transmission rate; Optical fiber transceivers working at the physical layer and optical fiber transceivers working at the data link layer; from a structural point of view, it is divided into desktop (independent) fiber transceivers and rack-mounted fiber transceivers; according to the different access fibers There are also two types of multi-mode fiber optic transceivers and single-mode fiber optic transceivers.
In addition, there are single-fiber optical fiber transceivers and dual-fiber optical fiber transceivers, built-in power optical fiber transceivers and external power supply optical fiber transceivers, as well as managed fiber optic transceivers and unmanaged fiber optic transceivers. Optical fiber transceivers break the 100-meter limitation of Ethernet cables in data transmission. Relying on high-performance switching chips and large-capacity caches, they can achieve non-blocking transmission and switching performance, and also provide balanced traffic, isolation and conflict. Error detection and other functions ensure high security and stability during data transmission.
