It refers to the interface that connects an optical module to an optical fiber jumper. It can be connected through a single-mode or multi-mode optical fiber. The following is an analysis based on different interfaces.
At present, there are mainly optical interfaces on the market: MPO, LC, SC, FC, ST, etc., among which the most mainstream is LC and SC interface.
For LC interface, optical module devices are:
Single-fiber LC, dual-fiber LC, this dual-fiber LC is mainly used in SFP and SFP+ modules, because this type of module is small in size, limited space, and requires more sophisticated optical devices.
Optical module components are as follows: single-fiber SC and dual-fiber SC. The dual-fiber SC is mostly used in the 1X9 module, which is relatively large and can accommodate dual-fiber optical devices.
MPO optical ports can be subdivided into MPO 12 (for 8 or 12 optical fibers) and MPO24 (for 16 or 24 optical fibers) according to the number of optical fibers used for optical module transmission.
SFP optical modules are LC interface, this module size is small, widely used. GBIC optical modules are SC interfaces, and other interfaces are also used in FC and ST.
