Fiber optic connectors are plugs at both ends by an optical fiber and fiber composition, plug by locking pin and peripheral structures. Depending on the locking mechanism, fiber optic connectors can be divided into FC type, SC type, LC type, ST type and KTRJ type.

Event Update: 10Gtek will be present at SC 15, held at the Austin Convention Center in Austin, Texas, NOV 16-19, 2015, with a booth to display its latest release: 100G QSFP28 DAC Cable, 25G SFP28 DAC Twinax Cables and optical transceivers, etc.

American Avago Tech 16 officially launched an ultra-low power consumption, small plug-in Fast Ethernet fiber optic transceivers AFBR-57E6APZ, designed for industrial automation, control and network applications and other fields.

Optical communication technology in the 2015 forum held recently, Ovum analyst Daryl Inniss speech, analyze the optical communication opportunities in the data center field. He said the data center network is driving demand for high-bandwidth connections between data centers and data center for internal. Terabit-level connection between the data center needs; and internal data centers require more cost connection to 100G. However, the high cost of optical networks market slowdown in the rate of expansion is a fundamental problem.

Including optical receiver module, optical transmitter module, optical transceiver module and optical transponder modules.

Fiber optic transceivers may be in a response network traffic surge center of attention, but the link platform, panel-board equipment and other functions is the supplier of fiber optic transceivers can achieve product differentiation play space.

Many people do not know the difference between SFP and SFP+, so sometimes unnecessary trouble. 10G module has gone from 300Pin, XENPAK, X2, XFP development, and ultimately with the same size and SFP 10G transmission signal, which is the SFP+. SFP With its compact and low cost advantages to meet the equipment needs of high-density optical module, the standard introduced from 2002 to 2010 has replaced 10G XFP become the market mainstream.

SFP is SMALL FORM PLUGGABLE (Small Form Factor Pluggable) acronym, can be simply understood as an upgraded version of GBIC, SFP modules are small by half. But on the same panel configuration more than double the number of ports. Other features SFP and GBIC modules basically the same. Some switch vendors said the SFP module as small GBIC (MINI-GBIC).

Optical transceiver module can be based on package, application rate, transmission distance, the use of optical fiber, the use of laser wavelength and so do a variety of categories. We choose the optical module when these factors must be marked, do not misunderstand talent. For example, in a communication system used in the single-mode fiber optic module package 40 km 1550nm 2.5Gbps SFP module, or used in a data system in the 500 meters 10Gbps XFP package 850nm wavelength multimode fiber modules.

XFP optical transceiver, is really just a photoelectric conversion device is only responsible for the completion of the optical / electrical conversion, other functions such as multiplexing / demultiplexing, 64B / 66B encoding and decoding is implemented by the chip on the circuit board. XFP optical module can easily achieve high port density applications.
