Description
Overview of Transceiver Module
A transceiver module is an electronic device that transmits and receives data signals over a network. It converts electrical signals into optical signals and vice versa, allowing data to be transmitted over long distances without interference. A transceiver module typically includes a transmitter, a receiver, and a laser or LED to generate and detect signals.
