The Application of Industrial Fiber Optic Transceiver and Its Usage Guide

Industrial grade fiber optic transceiver as a common converter gpon, it is suitable for a variety of applications, Primus IT will introduce the industrial grade iber optic transceiver generally suitable for the application environment for you, let's take a look! Fiber optic transceiver is a kind of converter gpon used to realize photoelectric signal conversion. One end of it is an optical fiber interface, the other end is an Ethernet interface, so that the short distance Ethernet signal and the long distance optical signal are exchanged, so as to extend the transmission of information.


1. Fiber optic transceiver is generally suitable for the following scenarios:


(1) Fiber optic transceiver  is suitable for LAN construction

For example, some big companies and units, the direct distance between the headquarters and branches is relatively long. It needs to be built through fiber optic transceiver.


(2) Fiber optic transceiver is suitable for monitoring network construction such as safe city, highway monitoring, because the monitoring point is scattered and far from the monitoring center. It is necessary to use network camera + fiber optic transceiver + switch to realize the construction of monitoring network.


(3) Fiber optic transceiver is suitable for fiber broadband


Network construction between operators and broadband users. Many places now use PON structures, so fiber optic transceiver are less and less used in this area.


The above are the specific applications of the three most common fiber optic transceiver. As a data converter between photoelectric media, fiber optic transceiver have become one of the most important technical equipment in the field of communication in today's society. We can choose the most suitable fiber optic transceiver according to the actual scene!


2. There are many considerations in the use of industrial fiber optic transceiver


(1) These considerations are often overlooked. Primus IT has compiled some guidelines to aviod mistakes when using it for industrial grade fiber optic transceiver.


(2) When using industrial-grade fiber optic transceiver to connect different devices, attention must be paid to the different ports used. Most attention is paid to the types of optical transceivers based on different optical connectors: SC transceivers and ST transceivers.


(3) Industrial grade fiber optic transceiver to 100BASE-TX device (switch, hub) connection:


a. Ensure that the length of the twisted-pair cable does not exceed 100 m.

b. Connect one end of the twisted-pair cable to the RJ-45 interface (Uplink interface) of the fiber transceiver and the other end to the RJ-45 interface (common interface) of the 100Base-TX device (switch or hub).


(4) Industrial grade fiber optic transceiver to 100BASE-TX device (network card) connection:


a. Ensure that the length of the twisted-pair cable does not exceed 100 m.

b. Connect one end of the twisted-pair cable to rJ-45 port (100Base-TX port) of the fiber optic transceiver and the other end to RJ-45 port of the network adapter.


(5) Industrial grade optical transceiver to 100BASE-FX connection:


a. Ensure that the length of the optical fiber does not exceed the range provided by the device.

b. One end of the optical fiber is connected to the SC/ST connector of the fiber optic transceiver, and the other end is connected to the SC/ST connector of the 100BASE-FX device.


In addition, many users of industrial-grade fiber optic transceiver assume that they can work as long as the fiber length is within the maximum distance supported by single-mode or multi-mode fiber. In fact, this is a wrong understanding. This understanding is correct only when all the connected devices are full-duplex devices. When half-duplex devices are connected, the transmission distance of the optical fiber is limited.
