  • Is the optical module active or passive

    Is the optical module active or passive

    The optical module serves as a crucial component in optical fiber communication systems, operating at the physical layer, which is the lowest layer in the OSI model. Its primary function is to achieve optoelectronic conversion by converting electrical signals into optical signals. Sometimes the optical module is replaced by an electrical interface module that implements either an active or passive electrical connection to the outside world. A large industry supports the manufacturing and use of optical modules. It can support multiple protocols and rates, such as gigabit Ethernet, fiber channels and sonet. What is a passive device? Passive devices refer to terminal node devices.
