The price of fiber optic Transceivers such as, SFP, SFP+, XFP, QSFP, and CFP keeps on going up over the time. But the price of the Transceivers is higher than it should thru upcharges, when obtained from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) such as Juniper, HP or Cisco. Over all there are some benefits to implementing a single vendor network. However savings, from acquiring aftermarket Transceivers, exceeds the economic value of vendor similarity, when having the huge pricing difference in fiber optic Transceiver cost between OEMs and many 3rd party. This is the reason that many network operators have been shifting to 3rd party Transceivers from last few years.

In the world of optical networks there are a lot of optical transceivers existing. They are a crucial part of the network as they are the ones in charge of the signal conversion and transmitting. There are some different form factors for 10 Gigabit transmissions, like SFP+, XFP, X2 and XENPAK - among them the LRM variant represents a special type of transceiver.

Bei der Planung und Wartung eines optischen Netzwerks ist es entscheidend, die verschiedenen Merkmale und Eigenschaften der Netzwerkkomponenten zu kennen. Bei der Auswahl des geeigneten Equipments für ein bestimmtes Projekt ist es wichtig, alle möglichen Optionen zu berücksichtigen. Zum Beispiel ist die Auswahl der richtigen Kabel für die Netzwerke bei Kupferkabeln und optischen Kabeln sehr unterschiedlich. Dies ist auf ihre unterschiedlichen Herstellungsprozesse, ihre Funktionsweisen und Eigenschaften zurückzuführen.

Since the beginning of the Ethernet technology, manufacturers and consumers have been demanding higher speeds and reliability for a lower cost. This has made Ethernet a technology that is used in every part of the world mostly because of its simplicity, installation and maintenance. Millions of network packets travel on a day to day basis with the help of the Ethernet standard and it’s safe to say that today nearly all of the Internet traffic has some part of the connection ending with an Ethernet cable.

Was ist DWDM? DWDM ist die Abkürzung für Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing. DWDM Systeme für optische Übertragungen haben sich im Anschluss an die vorherige SONET/SDH Technologie

Multimode & Singlemode Fiber - The Comparison Both fiber patch cords have the same basic structure. Around the fiber two layers of fabric and/or plastic for the insulation and

Managment Data Input/Output Interface or MDIO is a serial interface to read and write the control and status registers of the PHY. MDIOs configure each PHY before operation and monitor link status during operation. For most pluggable optical transceivers the interface used for monitor and control is the I2C interface.

A DWDM system offers the possibility of collecting and amplifying optical signals while providing those signals without the need to convert them into electrical signals.

The manufacturer of products for high-speed networks CBO this week introduced new optical transceiver modules for the BlueOptics range which can be used for bidirectional 10G link transfers on distances of up to 80 kilometers.

CBO, the manufacturer of products for fiber and copper based high speed networks, expands the BlueOptics transceiver range with 100G CFP, CFP2 and CFP4 transceivers for 100 Gigabit 9/125µm singlemode (SMF) links to ranges of up to 10 kilometers.
