Comparison of Fiber - optic Transceiver and Fiber Switch Function
2017-10-07
Fiber optic transceivers and fiber switches as the most commonly used fiber optic transmission equipment, the basic function is very similar, today Xiaobian for everyone to analyze the existence of these two kinds of products differences.
Fiber switch and fiber optic transceivers are different:
1, fiber switch is a high-speed network transmission relay equipment, it is more common than the use of fiber optic cable as a transmission medium. The advantages of optical fiber transmission is fast, anti-interference ability;
2, fiber optic transceivers, is a short distance twisted pair electrical signals and long distance optical signals interchangeable Ethernet transmission media conversion unit, in many places also known as the photoelectric converter (Fiber Converter) ;
3, fiber switch is the use of high transmission rate of fiber channel and server network, 8 fiber switch or SAN network internal components of the connection, so that the entire storage network has a very wide bandwidth for high-performance data storage provides a guarantee ;
4, fiber optic transceivers provide ultra-low latency data transmission, the network protocol is completely transparent. 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.
Summary: In optical fiber communication projects, the general fiber switch for the central machine room side, and fiber optic transceivers are generally used for the client.

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.
