Which Network Transceiver Do you Need? In networking, transceivers are the critical components that
enable data transmission. While transceivers can be embedded into short-reach direct attach copper and optical cables, they offer significant advantages when packaged into pluggable transceiver modules, which support various network speeds and transmission technologies, are compatible with a variety of active network equipment, and offer the benefit of easy plug-and-play deployment and replacement to facilitate upgrades. Pluggable transceivers also feature common copper and fiber connector interfaces to serve as the interface between active equipment and the cabling infrastructure.
