Overview
A pluggable fiber-optic transceiver is a compact, hot-swappable device that performs
both transmitting and receiving functions in full duplex. It includes optical transmitter and
receiver pairs (pair number depends on the transceiver type) with or without clock and
data recovery integrated circuit.
If a fiber-optic transceiver is installed and configured, it receives optical signals from the
client equipment or network fiber at the wavelength specific for the transceiver. Then it
performs optical to electrical conversion and transfers the electrical signals to the
relevant circuits on the board for further processing and transmission. Conversely, the
fiber-optic transceiver receives electrical signals from the relevant circuits and performs
electrical to optical conversion. Then it transmits the optical signals at the wavelength
specific for the transceiver over optical fibers to the client or network interfaces.
Modules with interchangeable interfaces use pluggable transceivers. The FSP 3000 C
uses the following types of pluggabletransceivers:
l Quad SFP (QSFP) transceivers for applications with data rates up to 4x28 Gb/s (aka
QSFP28)
Pluggable transceivers specifically ordered from ADVA Optical
Networking will be delivered together with the appropriate module.
Approved pluggable transceivers are marked with an ADVA Optical
Networking transceiver type label.
