What are the common parameters of optical transceiver
First, the center wavelength: unit nanometer (nm), currently there are three main types: 1) 850nm (MM, multi-mode, low cost but short transmission distance, generally only 500M can be transmitted); 2) 1310nm (SM, single mode, large loss during transmission but small dispersion, generally used for transmission within 40KM); 3) 1550nm (SM, single-mode, low loss but large dispersion during transmission, generally used for long-distance transmission above 40KM, and can directly transmit 120KM without relay at the farthest); Second, the transmission rate: refers to the number of bits (bits) of data transmitted per second, in bps. There are currently four commonly used: 155Mbps, 1.25Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 10Gbps, etc. Transmission rates are generally downward compatible, so 155M optical modules are also called FE (100M) H3C SFP-XG-T , and 1.25G optical modules are also known as GE (Gigabit) optical modules, which are the most used modules in optical transmission equipment.
