  • What is an active optical module

    What is an active optical module

    As an important part of fiber-optic communication, an optical module is a photoelectric converter which converts electrical signals into optical signals and vice versa. 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. That is, metal medium communication represented by coaxial cables and network cables is gradually being replaced by optical fiber media. An. Active components require some type of external energy either to perform their functions or to be used over a wider operating range than a passive device, thereby offering greater application flexibility. In that sense, optical sources, external modulators, and optical amplifiers can be considered.

  • Passive Optical Splitters and Switches

    Passive Optical Splitters and Switches

    Passive Optical Splitters are, quite simply, the components that split the fiber and its signal. A signal from the Aggregation Switch is sent along a run of fiber. The splitter is one of the important. The innovation of Passive Optical Networking, allows us to use these splitters when designing flexible and expandable network topologies, creating fault-tolerant networks, and making efficient use of fiber. Among the most unique features of Optigo Connect are our Passive Optical Splitters. A splitter is not a filter like a wavelength division multiplexer (WDM).
