When you deploy an industrial-designed fiber optic transceiver, this provides you the opportunity to implement fast Ethernet connections over extended distances. If you’re using fiber optic technology to transmit and receive data, the quality of your transceiver counts. As important as any other part of your optical network equipment, the electronic components contained in your transceiver are designed to encode and/or decode your data in light pulses. Using electrical signals, these are sent from end to end. In order to make this possible, a light source – like VSCEL, FP, or DFB laser – needs to be employed.

Fiber optic transceivers are classified in many ways. There are different transmission rates, which represent the number of bits which can be transmitted per second. There are also different fiber optic transceiver packages, different fiber mode types, and different applications. The most popular and widely used transceiver in the world is SFP/SFP+.
