O le masini faʻapipiʻi e aofia ai masini optoelectronic, taʻavale faʻaogaina, fesoʻotaʻiga mataʻutia, ma isi mea. I se faapuupuuga, o le matafaioi a le module optical o le liua photoelectric. O le fa'ai'uga lafo e fa'aliliuina le fa'ailo eletise i se fa'ailo fa'apitoa. A mae'a ona fa'asalalauina e ala i le fibre opitika, e fa'aliliu e le fa'ai'uga fa'ailo le fa'ailo opitika i se fa'ailo eletise.
Afai e vaevaeina le module opitika i lalo afifi, e mafai ona vaevaeina i 1x9, GBIC, SFF, XFP, SFP +, X2, XENPAK, ma 300pin. E tusa ai ma le eletise eletise, e mafai ona faʻavasegaina i totonu o le palaka vevela (tamaʻilima auro) (GBIC / SFPSXFP), sitaili faʻapipiʻi pine (1x9 / 2x9 / SFF). Ioe, e mafai foi ona faʻavasegaina e tusa ai ma le saoasaoa: 100M, 622M , 1.25G, 2.5G, 4.25G, 10G, 40G, 100G, 200G, 400G.
E ui lava o ituaiga eseese o module opitika e eseese afifi, saoasaoa ma felauaiga mamao, o latou fatuga i totonu e tutusa lava. O le SFP transceiver optical module ua faasolosolo malie lava ona avea ma autu o le talosaga ona o lona miniaturization, faʻapipiʻi vevela faigofie, lagolago mo le tulaga SFF8472, faitau analog faigofie, ma le saʻo maualuga (i totonu +/- 2dBm).
O vaega autu o le masini faʻapipiʻi o: masini faʻapipiʻi, laupapa faʻapipiʻi tuʻufaʻatasia (PCBA), ma atigi.
I le taimi nei, o matou oloa faʻatau vevela e aofia ai fesoʻotaʻiga sfp optical module, sfp optical transceiver module, sfp + optical module, sfp dual fiber optical module, ma isi.
