Five answers for this product path.
Product selectionHow do I choose between a transceiver, DAC and AOC?
Start with the host port, data rate and distance. A transceiver with a separate fibre lead gives the most flexibility; DAC suits the shortest in-rack copper links; AOC suits longer inter-rack links where a light integrated cable is useful.
Browse productsCompatibility & codingWhat information is required for a compatibility review?
Provide the equipment manufacturer, exact device model, firmware or network OS, port role, requested data rate and any OEM module reference. These details allow a model-specific review instead of a brand-level assumption.
Start a model reviewOptical link designWhat should be included in an optical link budget?
Include transmitter output, receiver limits, fibre attenuation, connector and splice losses, passive components and an engineering margin. Use the approved product datasheet for the applicable values.
Use the selection guideHigh-speed deploymentWhen should FEC be checked on a high-speed link?
FEC is a required design input for many 25G and faster interfaces. Confirm the interface standard and the setting at both ends; a recognition check alone does not verify FEC alignment.
Plan a technical reviewDocuments & procurementHow do I make sure a document applies to my exact model?
Compare the model reference, interface, reach and variant with your product shortlist. If the document is not published or the revision is unclear, send the model and required document type through the document request form before using it for approval.
