What are the basic characteristics of fiber-optic transceiver

Fiber optic transceiver, is a short distance to long distance twisted pair electrical signals and optical signals to be interchanged Ethernet media converter transmission unit, also known in many places Media Converter.
      Optical transceivers typically have the following basic characteristics:
      1. Provide low latency data transfer.
      2. Completely transparent to network protocols.
      3. Use more dedicated ASIC chip wire-speed forwarding of data. Programmable ASIC to a number of functions into a single chip, with a simple design, high reliability, low power consumption, etc., can cause the equipment to get higher performance and lower costs.
      4. Equipment use more 1 +1 power supply design, to support wide supply voltage to achieve power protection and automatic switching.
      5. Supports wide operating temperature range.
      6. Support a full range of transmission distance (0 to 120 km)
