Optical transceiver modules is an integrated circuit(IC) that transmits and receives data in both direction independently.


1. What Is An Optical Transceiver?

Fiber optic transceiver consists of Optical components(TOSA/ROSA/BOSA), PCB board, Case.


(1) Optical component concerns Transmitter, Receiver. 

The transmitter converts an electrical input to an optical output from a laser diode or LED source.

Light from the end of the fiber is coupled to a Receiver, and then a detector coverts light into an electrical signal.


(2)  PCB Board 

PCB Board consists of chip, integrated circuit. 

Build the laser on silicon, then fusing optical components with silicon integrated circuits. Not only help less power consumption, but also lower cost.


(3) Case

With Zinc Alloy Case, Corrosion resistant, good impact strength and dimensional stability.


2. Optical Transceivers: Original or Third-Party

As we know, Original equipment manufacturer such as Cisco, and third-party optical transceiver manufacturer such as HTF, they both exist in the market.


(1) Quality-Optical transceivers are standardized by MSA, which means our products are manufactured by this same rule. Also can work as well as the original modules. 

We test in equipment like switches, routers, etc.


(2) Price-Much cheaper than original transceivers. It allows you to save much money especially when you are working with a limited budget, help you make extra network upgrade in the future.
