    The optical module receives data from one side and transmits data from the other

    An optical transceiver is a compact electro-optical device that both transmits and receives data over fiber optic cable. 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. The working principle of optical modules is illustrated in the diagram shown in the Optical Module Working Principle Diagram. The transmitting interface inputs electrical signals of a certain bit rate, which are then processed by internal driver chips. Among various optical module form factors, SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable). The optical module, known as Optical Transceiver in English, is a general term for various module categories, including optical receiver modules, optical transmitter modules, optical transceiver modules, and optical forwarding modules.
