Optical Transceiver
An optical transceiver is a networking device that transmits and receives data over optical fiber by converting electrical signals into light signals and vice versa. It is a key component in fiber-optic communication systems used in data centers, telecommunications, enterprise networks, and cloud infrastructure.
How an Optical Transceiver Works
An optical transceiver performs two main functions:
Transmission (Tx):
Converts electrical signals from networking equipment into optical (light) signals using a laser or LED.
Sends the light through an optical fiber.
