What are XFP transceivers used for?

The XFP transceivers (reciever and transmitter) are a standard for fast computer network and telecommunication links that use optical fibers. They were defined in 2002. They are for 10 Gigabit applications.


Who makes all of the optical and electrical Transceivers egs SFPs GBICs?

Well, I've seen HP, Cisco and Finisar branded SFP and Gbics. Who physically manufactures them I have no idea. Inventec and Foxconn manufacture all of HP's computers, so I doubt HP manufactures their own transceivers.

Where can you buy Yaesu transceivers?

Yaesu transceivers can be bought online. You can find these transceivers on sites like Amazon, Yaesu dot com or even pilot dot com. You can find them on many of the sites that sell items like these.


How can you use fiber optical cable for PC to PC communication?

You will need a special card for each PC that would convert the communication signals (electrical signals) into optical code. Then you would connect the optical ports of both machines together via fiber optic cable. Ideally one card (one per machine) would be able to transmit and receive optical code over two strands of fiber. One strand for transmit the other for receive.

What is a video transceiver used for?

It's used to send video and/or audio from one location to another - usually as part of a security system. It sends the pictures and sound via radio waves (instead of cables) over a short distance. They're illegal in some countries, because they use radio frequencies that are already allocated to existing services - causing interference to legitimate users. Optical video transceivers are used to transform between the video signals and fiber optic signals, although its name is video transceiver, nowadays optical video transceiver can carry the data signals and audio signals too. Currently the most popular type is the digital video optical video transceivers. Source: FiberStore

"A PC tower is what houses the various components of a PC that are required for the computer to function. A few of the major components housed in the PC tower are the hard drive, floppy drives, optical drives, and the motherboard."


What test can be performed to check attenuation in fiber optic cables?

Easiest way is looking at the Rx signal information of the device receiving the optical signal. For instance, switches and routers are equipped with removable optical transceivers (SFP) which often have digital diagnostic monitoring ( DDM) capabilities. Available information includes Rx power, temperarure and bias current among others. The other way to easily measure attenuation is by using an optical power meter. In both cases the optical budget of the optical link (in dB), or at least the remote end's Tx power (in dBm) must be known beforehand.


How does SFP works?

SFP (Small Form Pluggable) optical modules are the most used fiber optic transceiver modules in the fiber communications industry. SFP's come in a variety of data rates and different fiber coverages. Most used SFPs are the 1.25G Gigabit rate transceiver modules. This section also includes wider old format GBIC only transceivers with SC connectors.
