Two optical module interfaces
Home / Two optical module interfaces
In BiDi optical modules, SC (Subscriber Connector) and LC (Lucent Connector) are common fiber interface types. While they share the same functionality, they differ significantly in their physical structure, connection methods, and deployment scenarios. 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. Whether you are creating a 100-Gbps or 400-Gbps, small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module, SFP+ transceiver, XFP module, CFP, X2/XENPAK module. On an optical network, a sender needs to convert electrical signals into optical signals before sending them to a receiver, and the receiver needs to convert received optical signals into electrical signals. Operating at the physical layer of the OSI model, optical modules are core devices in optical.
