I-Optical fibre transceiver iyiyunithi yokuguqula ephakathi kwe-Ethernet eshintshanisa amapheya asontekile amabanga amafushane ukuze abhanqe amasignali kagesi namasignali okubona amabanga amade. Eyaziwa nangokuthi isiguquli se-photoelectric ezindaweni eziningi. Lo mkhiqizo ngokuvamile usetshenziswa endaweni yangempela yenethiwekhi, lapho izintambo ze-Ethernet zingakwazi ukumbozwa, futhi imicu yokubona kufanele isetshenziselwe ukunweba ibanga lokudlulisela. Ivamise ukumiswa kungqimba yokufinyelela ukuze kusetshenziswe amanethiwekhi endawo yedolobha elikhulu le-fiber optical fiber; ngesikhathi esifanayo, kusiza ukuxhuma imayela lokugcina lamafiber optical. edolobheni. Amanethiwekhi wendawo kanye nama-extranet nawo adlala indima enkulu.
Kalula nje, indima ye-fiber optic transceiver ukuguqulwa okuhlangene phakathi kwamasignali optical kanye namasignali kagesi. Isignali ye-optical ifakiwe kusuka ku-optical port, futhi isignali kagesi iphuma ku-port kagesi (i-interface ye-crystal ye-RJ45 evamile), futhi ngokuphambene nalokho. Inqubo icishe ibe: guqula isignali kagesi ibe isignali yokubona, uyidlulisele nge-fiber optical, bese uguqula isignali yokubona ibe isignali kagesi ngakolunye uhlangothi, bese uyixhumaimizila, amaswishinezinye izinto zokusebenza.
