Optical Module

Terminology on the Optical Module


Encapsulated type
Classification of optical module encapsulation, such as: SFP, eSFP etc.
Transmission distance
The maximum distance optical signal can be transmitted. As the fiber itself has
dispersion and attenuation on optical signal and other side effects, so different types
of light, emitted from the optical source, have different transmission distance.
Interface rate
The maximum errorfree transmission of the electrical signal rate that optical devices
can be carried, interface rate that the !thernet standards re"uired are #$%&bit ' s,
#.$%(bit ' s, #).*#$%(bit ' s, +#.$%(bit ' s and so on.
Optical fiber Mode
The fiber can be divided into multimode and singlemode according to its core
diameter and character. (enerally, as the multimode fiber core diameter is large ,ith
serious modal dispersion, the transmission distance is short ,hile the modal
dispersion of single mode fiber is small, so the transmission distance is long.
Connector Type
#
-ptical module ports .fiber insertion site/ types are 0C .all SFP, SFP 1, 2FP/, &P-
.some of the 3SFP 1, C2P/, SC, etc.
Whether the different wavelengths of optical modules can be
in butt joint?
The ,or4ing principle of optical transceiver module is a process to transmit and
receive optical signals, ,ith the optical signals transmitting of different ,avelengths
standard, different ,avelengths ,ill also affect the maximum transmission distance.
5o,ever, 6787 SFP only uses one fiber optic cable ,ith different ,avelengths, such
as T2#*#)nm'92#%%)nm.
7n principle, the transmitting ,avelength .92/ from the sender and the receiving
,avelength .92/ from the receiver must be same. 5o,ever, sometimes it can be
connected successfully even if they are inconsistent, because the receiving device is
larger on the ,avelength of adaptation to identify a range of ,avelength signals. :e
suggest to avoid this situation in the actual pro;ect as it might cause some troubles on
performance issues and other aspects if ,e to do so.
