How to avoid the failure of optical transceiver modules?

Optical communications technology has the advantages of large bandwidth and low loss and is an important foundation for modern communications. With the rise of emerging technologies and new services such as cloud computing, mobile Internet, Internet of Things, and optical storage. The development of new technologies will put forward higher technical requirements for the optical transceiver module industry . UTOPTICAL with independent research and development, design and manufacturing, development of large-capacity, low power, high-speed optical transceiver modules, Today UTOPTICAL would like to share tips - how to avoid the failure of optical transceiver modules?

一 First we need to analyze several scenarios together

1.When there is no light or low optical power:

· Clean the optical interface of the optical transceiver module;

· Check whether the optical fiber connector has scratches, bends, etc.;

· Check the wavelength and unit of measurement of the optical power selection;

· The hot-plugging optical transceiver module is re-plugged and tested again;

· Replace the optical transceiver module on the same port or replace the port test on the same optical transceiver module.

2.When the optical power is normal but the link is different:

· Check the link lamp display.

二 how to avoid the failure of optical transceiver modules?

1.When using optical transceiver modules:

· Do not touch the pin of the optical transceiver module;

· The optical fiber must be handled gently, and it cannot hold the optical fiber or the jacket sheathed with the optical fiber.

· It is forbidden to fold, distort the fiber or press the pigtail, and it is impossible to pull the pigtail or force the tail fiber coupling.

2.Precautions against interface of optical transceiver modules

· Before wiping the optical transceiver module, you must prepare the wiping paper.

· Before inserting the patchcord into the optical interface, it must be cleaned to avoid the secondary pollution of the optical interface due to the pollution of the end of the optical patchcord. The specific method is to wipe the fiber head horizontally in one direction.

· If the optical transceiver module or optical fiber is not used for a long time or no dust cap is added, the optical fiber must be cleaned before using it again.

· It should be noted that the optical interface should be cleaned with a cotton swab. wipe the fiber paper and insert the cotton swab into optical interface during the cleaning. Rotate it gently.

三 Preventive measures for burnout of optical transceiver modules

When using an OTDR meter to test the continuity or attenuation of fiber channel:

· do not disconnect the fiber from the optical transceiver module

· do not insert the fiber connector loose to replace the optical attenuator
