To explain in elementary terms a transceiver is a combination of receiver and transmitter in one package. The term broadly applies to wireless communication equipments such as cordless telephone sets, cellular telephones, mobile two-way radios and two-way radios. There are also cases when the term is used in close reference to transmitter and receiver machinery in cable or other optical fiber systems.
In case of a radio transceiver, at the time of transmission the receiver is in silent mode. An electronic switch enables the receiver and transmitter to remain connected through one antenna. This in turn prevents the receiver from being hampered by the transmitter productivity. When you are using this kind of a transceiver, it is not possible to receive signals when the transmission is on. Such a mode is known as half duplex. Not always, but most often the reception and transmission happens on a similar frequency.
Today there are many kinds of transceivers in the market using various technologies. An eminent one is the Cisco GBIC transceivers that are hot pluggable. This feature helps an appropriately designed enclosure to be altered from a single type of external interface to another by just plugging a GBIC possessing an alternative external interface.
Cisco GBIC transceivers are apt for any interconnections over the Gigabit Ethernet hubs and for switches environment. The converter designs are practical at the same time for high performance and point-to-point interactions that requires gigabit or fiber channel interconnections. Features of these transceivers are listed below-
1. 1.25Gb/s GBIC transceiver with RJ-45 interface
2. Complies with GBIC Standard Revision 5.5
3. Auto-sense MDI-X, SCA-2 host connector
4. Differential PECL inputs and outputs, TTL signal detect indicator
5. Meets IEEE-802.3z and 802.3ab
Numerous eminent brands dealing in Cisco GBIC transceivers have made it to the market today with an attempt to provide high-end quality products. These follow an aggressive marketing strategy that eventually leads to greater customer satisfaction. At the same time, these products are eco-friendly, which means they do not lead to any environmental degradation.
