Optical module size classification

Home / Optical module size classification

Optical module classification By package: 1*9, GBIC, SFF, SFP, XFP, SFP+, X2, XENPARK, 300pin, etc. To accommodate different types of optical fibers, single-mode optical modules and multi-mode optical modules have emerged. Optical Modules are categorized by their reach capabilities: Note: CWDM/DWDM modules enable longer distances through wavelength division multiplexing. The optical module serves as a crucial component in optical fiber communication systems, operating at the physical layer, which is the lowest layer in the OSI model.

Types of Optical Modules

Depending on transmission rates, optical modules are classified into 100GE, 40GE, 25GE, 10GE, FE, and GE optical modules. Classified by encapsulation types.

Classification and Types of Optical Modules

Current classification methods include: transmission distance, rate/protocol, wavelength and other characteristics of lasers: operating temperature range, suitable transmission medium
