Fiber optic transceiver (also known as fiber optic switch) is the conversion between Ethernet electrical interface and optical interface. Fiber optic switches can be configured with one or more Ethernet electrical ports and one or more optical interfaces, extending the transmission distance of Ethernet from 100 meters of copper cable to 2 kilometers (multimode fiber) or 120 kilometers (single-mode fiber). It can easily achieve interconnection between multiple motherboard servers, repeaters, hubs, terminals, and multiple terminals. Adopting mature switching cores, equipped with multiple fiber optic interfaces, and supporting hot swapping, it has the characteristics of flexibility, efficiency, and reliability. Suitable for network environments that require high performance and reliability, such as telecommunications, broadcasting, broadband networks, and millions of high-definition video surveillance.
Function and working principle of fiber optic switch: Fiber optic switch is a high-speed network transmission relay device that uses fiber optic cables as the transmission medium compared to ordinary switches. The advantages of fiber optic transmission are fast speed and strong anti-interference ability.
Its characteristic is the use of high-speed fiber channels to connect with server networks or internal components of SAN (Storage Area Network) networks, which provides a wide bandwidth for the entire storage network and guarantees high-performance data storage. In this type of SAN storage network, the key player is the fiber optic switch (FCSwitch, also known as "Fiber Channel Switch") that we often hear about. Product features:
