There are three types of optical modules popular in the market: original optical modules, second-hand optical modules and compatible optical modules. As we all know, the price of original optical modules is very high. As for second-hand optical modules, although the price is relatively low, the quality cannot be guaranteed, and packet loss often occurs after half a year of use.
Therefore, many manufacturers have turned their attention to compatible optical modules. Indeed, the performance of compatible optical modules in use is almost the same as that of original optical modules, and the price is several times cheaper than original optical modules. This is also the reason why compatible optical modules are so popular.
Second-hand optical modules often lose packets after half a year of use. This is caused by unstable optical power and decreased optical sensitivity. If we have an optical power meter, we can take it out and measure it to see if its optical power is consistent with the parameters on the data sheet. If the discrepancy is too large, it is a second-hand optical module.
Then observe the after-sales use of the optical module. A normal optical module has a service life of 5 years. It is difficult to see the quality of the optical module in the first year, but it can be seen in the second or third year of its use.
HTF provides high-performance transceivers compatible with all major brand network equipment, such as Cisco, Huawei, MikroTik etc.The price is much better than the original brand, which can help customer substantial savings in cost.
All modules will be tested for switch compatibility before shipment to ensure that each module can be 100% compatible.
You can watch HTF's factory video to know how to manufacture optical transceiver.
