What Are Optical Transceivers?
Optical transceivers are devices that convert electrical signals into optical signals for transmission and reception.
They are primarily used in communication systems that employ optical fiber cables, serving the purpose of signal conversion between the transmitting and receiving ends. The operational principle involves converting electrical signals into optical signals at the transmitter, transmitting them through the optical fiber cable, and then converting them back into electrical signals at the receiver. This enables seamless communication.
Optical transceivers find applications in various settings, including data centers, corporate networks, and telecommunication service providers. They offer key features such as resilience to electromagnetic interference and the ability to transmit large-capacity data at high speeds. When using optical transceivers, it’s essential to choose transceivers that match the specifications and length of the optical fiber cables, as well as securely fix the cables during installation.
