What is an optical module?sfp transceivers module wholesaler

With the development of communication technology, optical module are used more and more. So what exactly is the optical module used for?

Firstly, we need to know that optical modules convert electrical signals into optical signals, which are transmitted through optical fibers and then converted into electrical signals. We can simply know from his working principle that the optical module is an electronic container for photoelectric conversion and electro-optic conversion.

In the entire optical communication industry chain, optical device and optical module companies are in the middle of the industry. The upstream of the industrial chain mainly includes suppliers of semiconductor materials and optoelectronic chips (design, manufacturing, packaging); Downstream of the industrial chain, optical modules need to be used in conjunction with telecommunications equipment, network equipment, etc. They belong to non terminal products and are mainly aimed at two major categories of customers: the telecommunications market and the data communication market.

The optical module is an important part of the optical communication equipment and an important bridge connecting the optical world and the electric world. Although the optical module market is still in the early stage of the industry, with the continuous development of technology, optical module is also constantly making breakthroughs and progress.
