Abstract
As a core component of metropolitan area networks and data centers, 10g transceiver is promoting the popularization of high-speed communications. With its independent optical module technology and large-scale production capabilities, ESOPTIC has created a 10g transceiver solution with both high performance and cost advantages. This article analyzes the key value of 10g transceiver from multiple dimensions, including technical architecture, application scenarios, pricing strategy and factory strength.
Technological breakthroughs and standardization evolution of 10g transceiver
10g transceiver is based on SFP+ packaging and supports single-mode optical fiber transmission distances of up to 120 kilometers. Its core lies in the efficient conversion of optoelectronic signals and anti-interference design. By adopting EML lasers and APD receivers, ESOPTIC's 10G SFP+ module achieves a dynamic reception range of -28dBm to +3dBm, ensuring the stability of metropolitan area links. In addition, the application of 64B/66B coding technology reduces the bit error rate to 10^-12, meeting the stringent requirements of industries such as finance and medical care.
In terms of standardization, 10G Ethernet follows the IEEE 802.3ae protocol and is compatible with 10GBASE-R (local area network) and 10GBASE-W (wide area network) architectures. ESOPTIC's 10g transceiver has passed the SFP+ MSA certification and can seamlessly connect to mainstream manufacturers' switches, reducing customer integration costs.
10g transceiver price: How to break the price-performance ratio?
The current 10g transceiver price has entered a mature stage, and the average price of passive copper cable solutions is about 1/3 of that of traditional optical modules. ESOPTIC controls the price of 10g transceivers at an industry low by vertically integrating the production chain - from wafer processing to module assembly - while ensuring that the delivery cycle is shortened by 30%. Taking 10GBASE-LR (1310nm single-mode) as an example, its bulk purchase unit price has dropped by 18% compared with 2023, making it an economical choice for metropolitan area network upgrades.
It is worth noting that the price of 10g transceivers is positively correlated with the transmission distance. For example, the cost of the model supporting 80 km is about 25% higher than that of the 40 km version. Users need to balance budget and performance according to the actual scenario.
ESOPTIC factory: the core advantage of large-scale manufacturing
ESOPTIC's 10g transceiver factory adopts a fully automated production line with a monthly production capacity of over 500,000 units. Its core processes include:
High temperature aging test: The module runs continuously for 72 hours at 70°C to screen early faults
Spectral calibration: The laser wavelength accuracy of ±0.05nm is achieved through TO-Can packaging technology
Compatibility verification: Interoperability testing is completed with mainstream equipment such as Cisco and Huawei
The factory has passed ISO 9001 and Telcordia GR-468 certification to ensure that the product life exceeds 100,000 hours. ESOPTIC also provides ODM customization services to support customers to embed private protocols in transceiver firmware to meet special scenario requirements.
Five application scenarios of 10g transceiver
Metro Ethernet backbone network: 120 km relay-free transmission replaces traditional SDH equipment
Distributed data center interconnection: multi-link multiplexing is achieved through CWDM technology to reduce fiber resource occupation
5G fronthaul network: support 3μs low-latency transmission under CPRI interface
Industrial automation: -40℃~85℃ wide temperature model is suitable for intelligent manufacturing environment
Video surveillance backhaul: bandwidth utilization is increased by 40% when 8K camera is networked
ESOPTIC's 10g transceiver has deployed more than 2 million ports worldwide, with a failure rate of less than 0.02%, becoming the preferred solution for operators and enterprise customers.
10g transceiver vs. active optical cable (AOC): How to make a decision?
| Index | 10g transceiver | Active optical cable (AOC) |
|---|---|---|
| Transmission distance | ≤120 km (single mode) | ≤100 m (multimode) |
| Power consumption | 1.5W (typical) | 0.8W |
| Flexibility | Replaceable optical fiber to adapt to different scenarios | Fixed length, plug and play |
| Total cost of ownership | Lower cost for medium and long distance scenarios | More price advantage for short distance deployment |
Recommendation: 10g transceiver is the first choice for metropolitan area node interconnection over 300 meters; AOC can be considered for interconnection of devices within the rack.
Summary
10g transceiver is reshaping the metropolitan area network architecture with its mature technology ecosystem and continuously optimized price system. ESOPTIC provides customers with highly reliable and low-cost 10g transceiver solutions through large-scale manufacturing and strict quality control in its own factory. In the future, with the penetration of 50G PAM4 technology, 10g transceiver will continue to play a cornerstone role in edge computing and the Internet of Things.
FAQ
