Introduction to 10G SFP SR optical transceiver
The 10G SFP SR optical transceiver is an optical module used for 10Gbps data transmission, using SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) packaging. The following is an introduction to 10G SFP SR optical transceivers:
Definition and rationale:
The 10G SFP SR optical transceiver is a short-distance optical module. SR stands for “Short Reach”, which means it is suitable for short-distance optical fiber transmission. It is based on photoelectric conversion technology, which converts electrical signals into optical signals for transmission, and then converts the optical signals back into electrical signals.
The basic principles of the 10G SFP SR optical transceiver are as follows:
- Transmitter: The transmitter converts electrical signals into optical signals. The electrical signal is converted into an optical signal through an electro-optical converter and then transmitted through an optical fiber.
- Optical fiber transmission: Optical signals are transmitted through optical fibers, which usually use multimode optical fibers (MMF).
- Receiving end: After receiving the optical signal, the receiving end converts the optical signal into an electrical signal through an optical-to-electrical converter, and then performs further processing and transmission.
