How does the XFP transceiver differ from the protocol converter?

2017-09-08
The XFP transceiver is only used for photoelectric signal conversion, and protocol converters are used to convert a protocol to another. XFP transceiver is a physical layer device, is the fiber into twisted pair device, there are 10/100 / 1000M conversion.

Protocol converter there are many, most of which is basically a two-tier equipment, often encountered a RAD protocol converter is 2M E1 line into V.35 data lines connected to the router equipment, of course, 2M turn Twisted pair Ethernet, with 2M communication lines can be achieved within the scope of remote access and expansion.

These two kinds of equipment on its maintenance is not much, as long as not burned generally not bad.

A router is a three-tier device, and you need to master the knowledge of many router configurations. Different brands use different methods, you need to have targeted learning.

XFP transceiver is a short distance twisted pair electrical signals and long distance optical signal interchangeable Ethernet transmission media conversion unit, in many places also known as photoelectric converter or fiber converter (Fiber Converter ).

XFP transceivers are generally used in the actual network environment where Ethernet cables can not be overwritten and must be used to extend the transmission distance, while also helping to connect the fiber's last mile line to the metro and more outer networks The role of. With the XFP transceiver, but also for the need to upgrade the system from copper to fiber, but the lack of funds, manpower or time to provide users with a cheap program. XFP Transceiver products must be in strict compliance with 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, 100Base-FX, IEEE802.3 and IEEE802.3u Ethernet, in order to ensure complete compatibility with network equipment such as network cards, repeaters, hubs and switches, Network standard. In addition, it should comply with FCC Part15 in EMC anti-electromagnetic radiation. Nowadays, as the major domestic carriers are building the community network, campus network and enterprise network, the amount of XFP transceiver products is also increasing to meet the needs of the access network.

XFP transceivers typically have the following basic features:
1. Provides ultra low latency data transmission.
2. Fully transparent to network protocols.
3. Using special ASIC chip to achieve data wire-speed forwarding. Programmable ASIC to a number of functions focused on a chip, with a simple design, high reliability, low power consumption, etc., can make the equipment get higher performance and lower cost.
4. Rackmount devices provide hot-swappable features for easy maintenance and uninterrupted upgrades.
5. Network management equipment can provide network diagnostics, upgrades, status reports, abnormal report and control functions, can provide a complete operation log and alarm log.
6. The device uses 1 + 1 power supply design, support ultra-wide power supply voltage, to achieve power protection and automatic switching.
7. Supports ultra wide operating temperature range.
8. Support complete transmission distance (0 ~ 120 km)

Simply put, the XFP transceiver is a converter that uses fiber as a physical medium and converts an Ethernet signal to an optical signal.

    With the continuous development of 5G communication technology, 100G modules are gradually becoming popular. We know that there are many kinds of packages for 100G optical modules. From 2000 to now, the optical module package types have been rapidly developed. Its main package types are: GBIC, SFP, XENPAK, SNAP12, X2, XFP, SFP+, QSFP/QSFP+, CFP, CXP. In the fast-developing network era, some 100G optical modules avoid the risk of being eliminated, and upgraded and revised with the wave of the Internet, such as 100G CFP optical modules.

    1. What is the CWDM SFP? The CWDM optical module is an optical module using CWDM technology to implement the connection between the existing network device and the CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer. When used with a CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer, CWDM optical modules can increase network capacity by transmitting multiple data channels with separate optical wavelengths (1270 nm to 1610 nm) on the same single fiber.

    AOC is the abbreviation of Active Optical Cables, which is called Active Optical Cables in Chinese. AOC active optical is to encapsulate two optical modules and cable together. Because the medium of transmission in the middle is optical cable, AOC optical module, which contains laser devices, has a higher price for DAC. However, its optical aperture is not exposed, it has high reliability, and its working distance can be customized for a long distance of less than 100 meters.

    Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology is capable of transmitting data in an optical fiber using bit wavelength parallel transmission or string line transmission using the wavelength of the laser.It is widely used in different fields of communication networks, including long-distance backbone networks, metropolitan area networks (MANs), residential access networks, and local area networks (LANs).The DWDM optical module is the optical module that uses this technology, so the DWDM optical module has high bandwidth and long-distance transmission characteristics.
