What is the Use of GBIC Module?

2017-07-01
GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) transceiver, just as its name implies, it with one end to plug into a gigabit Ethernet port like switches, the other end to connect the fiber optic cables and then link the whole fiber optic networks. GBIC module functions well in transforming the signals between the Ethernet network and fiber optic network. 
 What is the Use of GBIC Module?
Via the GBIC transceiver, Gigabit network equipment can be directly connected to copper wires, both single mode fiber ports and multimode fiber ports. GBIC transceivers are beneficial, as they eliminate the necessity of replacing entire boards at the system level. Upgrading can be done with any number of units at a time, from an individual module to all the modules in a system.
 
GBIC has its multi sources agreement as the industrial standard, this help manufacturers save cost to develop their each own standard and solve the problem of compatibility, GBIC transceivers could also benefit the users, because the equipment support GBIC can fit to use different kinds of GBIC transceivers from different suppliers, what is more, GBIC is hot pluggable, this feature allows a suitably designed enclosure to be changed from one type of external interface to another simply by plugging in a GBIC having the alternative external interface. The GBIC transceivers are suitable for interconnections in the Gigabit Ethernet hubs and switches environment. The design of these converters is also practical for other high performance, point-to-point communication requiring gigabit or fiber channel interconnections.
 
GBIC classification is based on its working wavelength, data transmitting rate, working power and the working distance. Generally GBIC fiber optic end the interface is SC type, the laser unit in GBIC module can be 850nm VCSEL, 1310nm FP, 1310nm DFB, and 1550nm DFB.
 
When install a GBIC module, please note the alignment groove at the side of the transceiver, and make sure it fits for the Ethernet interface slot and try the insertion, sometimes you may need to turn it 180 degree to fit for the interface. Although GBIC fiber optic transceiver module is able to be plugged and played, we strongly suggest you disconnect all the fiber optic patch cords connected to it before you install or remove it.

    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.
