Fiber Optic Transceiver is an interconnect component used to convert electrical signals to optical (light) signals and optical signals to electrical signals. Acts as both a transmitter and a receiver. In fiber optics, this data is sent in the form of light pulses at very high speeds and across long distances. SFP Module is a small form factor pluggable optical transceiver or miniGBIC (gigabit interface converter) for transmitting and receiving data over fiber. Commonly used to interconnect fiber cables to network switches and other communication devices, such as industrial Ethernet switches and media converters.
