What Are the Impacts of Temperature on Optical Transceivers?

  The working temperature of optical transceivers affects all the parameters of optical transceivers. If the ambient temperature of the optical transceiver changes, the operating current of the optical transceiver will vary with temperature. At the same time, the parameters of the optical transceivers change, which affects the normal transmission [ Continue reading…]

QSFP28 Optical Transceiver Is a More Ideal Solution for 100G Optical Network?

  Before the advent of the 100GBASE QSFP28 optical transceiver (an optical transceiver that can be used to support 100G transmission), the development direction of the 100G network is 10G → 40G → 100G. After the 100GBASE QSFP28 optical transceiver appears, 10G → 25G → 100G or 10G → 25G [ Continue reading…]

Difference Between GBIC and SFP & Application

  GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) is a hot-swappable Gigabit Interface optical module with SC connector. A gigabit interface converter (GBIC) is a standard for transceivers, commonly used with Gigabit Ethernet and fiber channel. A variation of the GBIC called the small form-factor pluggable transceiver (SFP),also known as mini-GBIC, has the [ Continue reading…]
