ETU-Link Technology Co., Ltd has the responsibility to maintain the benign development of the optical communication industry, also have the obligation to guide the customers choose the right product. Following will share 6 strategies for selecting optical transceiver, don't worry about can not choose the suitable optical transceiver.

Strategy 1. Identify new optical transceiver and used optical transceiver.
※ The price of original optical transceiver is very expensive. Although the price of used optical transceiver is low, it will happen some issues after six months. The reason is unstable optical power and the decline in the optical sensitivity etc.
※ Use the Optical Power Meter to check the output power whether meet the specification. If the difference is too large, it maybe the used optical transceiver.


Strategy 2. Select the appropriate type of optical transceiver as required .
The types of optical connector: FC, SC, ST, LC, MU and MTRJ. The optical transceiver has a different interface, the most common is LC, then is SC, this needs to be determined according to the actual needs.

Strategy 3. See the compatibility between the optical transceiver and device.
Users should pay attention to: It will be indicated that the product can be used in what brand of equipment in the product description, should also confirm with the seller. In order to ensure that customers can buy the optical transceiver with good performance, ETU-Link Technology Co., Ltd will conduct a variety of tests for all compatible optical transceivers before shipment, including Material testing, Product parameter testing, Distance testing, Switch testing and Aging testing, to guarantee its compatibility and operability.


Strategy 4. Consider the temperature adaptability of the optical transceiver.
The working environment of the optical transceiver is in the engine room or switch, and the change of temperature will affect the optical power and the sensitivity of the optical transceiver. The temperature range of the common optical transceiver is 0°C~70°C, while the industrial optical transceiver is -40°C~85°C. ETU-Link Technology Co., Ltd will guarantee the the stability of the industrial products from the requirement of the hardware, Physical cooling and Temperature compensation software.

Strategy 5. Consider whether the parameters of the optical transceiver meet the requirements of the equipment.
The parameters of the optical transceiver that need to be considered are: Central wavelength, transmission distance and transmission rate, etc..
※ 850nm(MM, multi-mode, low cost but short transmission distance, generally can only transfer 500M);
※ 1310nm (SM, single-mode, large loss in transmission process but small dispersion, generally used for transmission within 40KM);
※ 1550nm (SM, single-mode, small loss in transmission process but large dispersion, generally used for long distance transmission over 40KM, the most distant direct transmission is 120KM).

Strategy 6. Judging according to the service life of optical transceiver.
The used optical transceiver will appear different degrees of problems after using se more than six months, less than one year. It is best to choose a regular, quality control capacity of the manufacturers to cooperate when selecting the optical transceiver. So as not to cause huge economic losses to you and your company.
ETU-Link Technology Co., Ltd can guarantee that all the optical transceivers we supply are brand-new and enjoy three years of quality assurance services. If non-human damage performance failure occurred within the warranty period, we can provide you a direct replacement to solve your worries.

With these 6 essential strategies, like having a pair of piercing eye,is no longer difficult to find a suitable optical transceiver. ETU-Link Technology Co., Ltd have been devoted to provide our customers optical transceivers with high performance. We believe that we can become the leading supplier of optical transceiver in the future.
