    A pair of optical modules consists of two modules

    The key components inside an optical module include: Laser Diode or LED: Generates the light signal. Lasers are used for longer distances and higher speeds, while LEDs are suitable for shorter distances. 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. The optical module serves as a crucial component in optical fiber communication systems, operating at the physical layer, which is the lowest layer in the OSI model. Its primary function is to achieve optoelectronic conversion by converting electrical signals into optical signals and vice versa. As illustrated in the Optical Module.
