  • What happens if the optical module exceeds the distance

    What happens if the optical module exceeds the distance

    Excessive input power can push the detector into saturation, impairing its ability to accurately convert optical signals into electrical signals. In optical fiber communication, the attenuation operation for long-distance modules is a critical process to ensure system stability. This is not an arbitrary adjustment but a necessary measure, carefully implemented based on signal transmission principles, device specifications, and practical. However, when long-distance optical modules are directly connected to short-distance optical fibers without attenuation, the optical components at the receiving end are easily damaged. They convert electrical signals (from your router/switch) into light pulses (for fiber cables) and vice versa. Indicates the receiver is being overpowered, which can cause bit errors.
