Choosing the right option depends on your available fiber infrastructure, budget and network expansion plans. 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. Fiber optics relies on a bidirectional transmission where the transmitter port on one end connects to the receiver port on the other end. Since fiber optic links require a two-way - or duplex - connection, there is potential for errors in installation by connecting transmitter to transmitter or. An optical link module is a compact device that converts electrical signals into light signals and transmits them through fiber optic cables - enabling data transfer at speeds up to 800Gbps over long distances. A link's transmit signal (Tx) must match its corresponding receiver (Rx) at the other end.
