An optical transceiver is a device that uses fiber optical technology to send and receive data. This device comprises a transmitter and a receiver, which are combined and share common circuitry or a single housing. The transceiver is an important part of a fiber-optic network. It converts electrical signals to light signals to transmit data through an optical cable and vice versa. Manufacturers need to obtain ISO 9001 certifications to ensure that their optical transceivers are good quality.
