  • What is an optical module fiber optic interface

    What is an optical module fiber optic interface

    An optical module is a typically hot-pluggable optical transceiver used in high-bandwidth data communications applications. Optical modules typically have an electrical interface on the side that connects to the inside of the system and an optical interface on the side that connects to the outside world through a fiber optic cable. The form factor and electrical interface are often specified by an interested group using a (MSA). Optical modules can either plug into a front pa.
