The base stations work directly together over fiber optic connections, without the need for additional network elements. Compared to traditional copper lines, optical communication provides higher transmission rates and longer distances, making it a critical technology in base stations. Which optical modules are commonly used in 4G base stations? In this blog, ETU-LINK will talk about 4G base stations and common types of optical modules.

Single fiber modules (BiDi) use one fiber for both transmitting and receiving data. As an essential component of optical fiber communication, optical modules are optoelectronic devices that facilitate the conversion between optical and electrical signals during the transmission process. 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. On an optical network, a sender needs to convert electrical signals into optical signals before sending them to a receiver, and the receiver needs to convert received optical signals into electrical signals.

When connecting two network switches, both SFP ports on each switch must use the same wavelength, or similar SFP modules that are compatible with each other. Matching SFP modules with switches or media converters is a critical step in building a reliable fiber-optic network. It's just that OM4 has better optical characteristics, and as such can keep signals intact over a longer distance. The following figure shows the optical modules supported by the S5720-12TP-LI-AC.

In global configuration mode, execute the following commands in sequence to disable the switch's optical module validation and allow third-party modules: service unsupported-transceiver no errdisable detect cause gbic-invalid Note: These are hidden commands and cannot be. By default, Cisco switches perform authenticity validation on inserted optical modules. When the optical module on an interface is faulty, you can run the display commands to view information about the optical module.
