How much do you know about optical module compatibility?

2017-08-26
Many people are strange with optical transceivers, they won’t see it in daily life, but it is indispensable to our life. In modern society, people are unhappy if they don't have cell phones. So here comes the question. Do you know where the signal of the cell phone comes from?
XFP transceiver
Let me show you the answer! The answer is in the communications operator's engine room! There are a lot of switch equipment in the engine room, and our products are used here.
XFP transceiver
The switches have many brands, such as CISCO, HUAWEI, H3C, Juniper, HP, ZTE, TP-Link, D-Link, Mikrotik, Planet, Extreme, Alcatel, Allied Telesis etc..

Some customers will misunderstand that one optical module can be compatible with all brands of switches. In fact, this though is wrong.Here we'll explain it to you in the simplest way:

We all know a common sense, one key can only be opened one lock. The same is true of optical modules and switches. The compatibility code for an optical module is like a key, and a switch is like a lock. If you are using on the CISCO switch, then the optical module will have to be written to CISCO code, if H3C switch, then is H3C code.

    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.
