Is the XFP transceiver not a modem?

2017-09-05
XFP transceivers and light cats are all photoelectric conversion products, many people are more easily confused. In fact, both from the working principle to the appearance of the existence of a big difference, it is easy to identify, the following Xiaobian for everyone to introduce the difference between the two.

The modem has the effect of modulation and demodulation. Light cat, also known as single-port optical transceiver, is designed for a particular user environment, it uses a pair of optical fiber for single E1 or single V.35 or single 10BaseT point to point type optical transmission terminal equipment. The equipment serves as a relay transmission device for the local network, a fiber terminal transmission equipment for the base station, and a leased line device. For the multi-port optical transceiver will generally be called "Guangduan Ji", single-port optical transceiver is generally used in the client, similar to the commonly used wide area network (circuit) network with the baseband MODEM, and have called "light MODEM", " Light cat "," light modulator ". Some people often mistakenly XFP transceiver or photoelectric converter as a light cat, in fact, this is a wrong name.

XFP transceiver, is a short distance twisted pair electrical signal and long distance optical signal interchangeable Ethernet transmission media conversion unit, in many places also known as the photoelectric converter. The product is generally used in the actual network environment where the Ethernet cable can not be covered and must be used to extend the transmission distance, and is usually located in the access layer application of the broadband metro network; while helping to connect the last mile of the fiber to the metro Network and more outside the network also played a huge role.

    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.
