Identifying and Diagnosing Pluggable Transceivers

Introduction to pluggable transceivers

At present, four types of pluggable transceivers are commonly used, as shown in

Table 1

. They can be

further divided into optical transceivers and electrical transceivers based on transmission medium.

Identifying Pluggable Transceivers

Because pluggable transceivers are of various types and from different vendors, you can use the

following commands to view the key parameters of the pluggable transceivers, including transceiver type,

connector type, central wavelength of the laser sent, transfer distance and vendor name or name of the

vendor who customizes the transceivers to identify the pluggable transceivers.
Follow these steps to identify pluggable transceivers:
