Optical Fiber
As mentioned above, there are Single-mode and Multi-mode optical fiber. Both of them can be used for
NuStreams module
’s fiber port.
Fiber Connector
Optical fiber connector contains two ends of fibers and can attach
to SFP+ transceivers. There are two ports for one SFP+
transceiver: one fiber is for receiving and one fiber is for
transmitting. The picture here is called LC connector that can
attach to SFP+ transceiver.
Transceiver (Connector)
SFP+/XFP Transceivers can be plugged into NuStreams module
’s SFP+/XFP
Ports. SFP+/XFP Transceivers are active components that consume power
from NuStreams module and are capable of converting signals between optical
data flow and electronic data flow.
For different transmission purpose, the component inside SFP+ form factor can
be 10BASE-LR or 10BAST-SR mode.
