<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical transceiver converting and coupling an information-containing electrical signal with an optical fiber. <P>SOLUTION: The optical transceiver includes a housing conforming to the industry standard XENPAK(trademark) form factor including an electrical connector for coupling with an external electrical cable or information system device and for transmitting and/or receiving an information-containing electrical communications signal, and a fiber optic connector adapted for the purpose of coupling with an external optical fiber for transmitting and/or receiving an optical communications signal. At least one electro-optical subassembly in which conversion is performed between an electric signal including information and a modulated optical signal corresponding to the electric signal is provided in the housing along with a modular, interchangeable communications protocol processing printed circuit board in the housing for processing the communications signal into a predetermined electrical or optical communications protocol, such as the IEEE 802.3ae 10 G byte BASE LX4 physical layer. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
