The choice of optical transceivers need to be aware of four things
2017-08-24
It’s critical to choose a proper type of optical transceiver for your device, but there are too many factors need to concern about, so we are going to help you to go through the necessary factors so that you would know what should be taken into consideration.
1. Be clear of your network circumstance.
You need to make sure what kind of network you are deploying. Let’s take an example of Gigabit Ethernet, there are four standards including 1000BASE-T, 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, 1000BASE-CX. Once you choose the standard, you choose the transmission medium as well. 1000BASE-T is designed for existing Category 5 wiring, 1000BASE-CX is designed for STP(Shielded Twisted Pair), and the rest are designed for optical fiber, but you still need to pay attention to the wavelength and fiber modes.
2. Check the fiber mode you need.
Multimode fiber(MMF) and singlemode fiber(SMF) are the basic fiber types that have been using till now. Multimode fiber is best designed for short transmission distances, and is suited for use in LAN systems and video surveillance. Single-mode fiber is best designed for longer transmission distances, which is used in applications that need bandwidth that will travel over long distances.
3. Be sure either you need Full-duplex or Half-duplex.
Some chips will only use full-duplex configuration. Selecting switches, HUBs, or transceivers with half-duplex mode may cause loss and conflict. Only choose full-duplex unless you think that your application can support half-duplex. Nowadays, Ethernet interfaces on the switch operate at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps, or 10,000 Mbps and in either full- or half-duplex mode.
4. Fully understand the meaning of basic parameter.
The image below is a SFP+ LR, the label on the case contains information like brand, Stock Keeping Unit(SKU), form type, wavelength and transmission range. In this case, the brand is Fiberland, SKU is AXS13-192-10, form type is SFP, wavelength is 1310nm, transmission range is 10km. All of these parameters should be compatible with the requirement of device.

012019-10With 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.

012019-101. 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.

012019-10AOC 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.

012019-10Dense 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.
