More Worthy Compatible Transceiver Modules
Opto-electronic devices and its technology are also in the developing trends of high speed-oriented, modularity, integration. multifunction, flexibility and low cost. Fiber optic transceiver module is one of the most important opto-electronic devices in today's optical communication.Since the fiber transceiver gets more and more widely used, people are more attention to the product itself, including stability and reliability. Now the transceivers in the mainstream market are: the original packaging optical module together with the equipment, compatible optical modules and second-hand optical modules. We all know that the price of original optical transceiver module is very expensive, generally the price is 10 times higher than compatible optical module. While second-hand optical module is in very low price, but generally will arise packet loss and other issues after using more than 6 months. So now a lot of customers are considering use a compatible optical module, but due to the compatible optical module manufacturers using different chips and different production processes, there are pros and cons of compatible transceiver. So how do we choose compatible transceiver with reasonable prices and high quality?
1. the After-sales Service of Compatible Module
General normal life expectancy of optical modules is 5 years, while most of the fiber module function well in the first year, so you are unable to identify the quality through the first year. But generally in the second year, third year it's easier to figure out the quality of fiber optic transceiver you bought.
2. How to Distinguish the Second-hand Modules and New Modules?
The second-hand of optical modules will appear many issues such as packet loss, optical power instability, light sensitivity decline,... generally after using more than half a year. If there is optical power meter, you can detect the optical power whether is in accordance with its data parameters.
3. the Compatibility between Optical Transceiver and Devices
As the different equipments from each vendor, vast number of of customers concern about the use of optical modules with the existing devices. Before the purchase you should confirm the compatibility with the supplier.
4. the Compatibility Between the Optical Modules
Now the technical threshold of producing a fiber optic transceiver module is getting lower and lower, there are all kinds of fiber optic transceivers available in the market, such as original, fake original, compatible, second-hand. The compatibility between these modules will also affect the quality of users' network. Optical module is a standard product, has a corresponding international norms, as long as the production of optic module meet its corresponding international standards and having a FCC certification, there is no issues of the compatible between optical modules.
5. Adapt to Temperature?
The temperature generated is not high when just talk the use of fiber optic transceiver itself, primarily used in switches and engine room and other environment, if the temperature is too high or too low, will affected the optical power, light sensitivity and other parameters of fiber optical transceiver. Especially in the industrial environments.
In general, original module has its coding, you can go to its official whether it is genuine and its factory-information.
en.OFweek is a b2b platform for high-tech areas, also providing quality fiber optic transceivers from reliable manufacturers, including module SFP, GBIC BIDI, CWDM, DWDM, XENPAK, X2, XFP, SFP+, DWDM SFP, CWDM SFP, etc. And the most popular transceivers are sfp modules, DWDM SFP and CWDM SFP modules.
