What kind of device can an optical module be called
An optical module, also called fiber optic transceiver or optical transceiver, is a typically hot-pluggable device used in high-bandwidth data communications applications. Optical modules typically have an electrical interface on the side that connects to the inside of the system and an optical interface on the side that connects to the outside. They are used in fiber optic communication systems to transmit data over long distances with minimal loss and interference. Operating at the physical layer of the OSI model, optical modules are core devices in optical.
