Le eseesega i le vatransceiver opitikama fiber optic transceiver:

O le transceiver e naʻo le faʻaliliuina o le photoelectric, e le suia le code, ma e le faia isi gaioiga i luga o faʻamaumauga. O le transceiver e mo Ethernet, faʻatautaia le 802.3 protocol, ma e naʻo le faʻaaogaina mo fesoʻotaʻiga i le itu-i-itu.

I le faʻaopoopoga i le galuega o le liua photoelectric, e manaʻomia foʻi e le transceivers opitika e faʻapipiʻi ma faʻamalo faʻamatalaga faʻamatalaga. E masani ona o'o mai le tele o paiga o laina E1. SDH, PDH opitika transceivers e masani ona faʻaaogaina i le telefoni feaveaʻi e tuʻuina atu ai faʻamatalaga faʻamatalaga e tele-point-to-point; e masani ona faʻaaogaina faʻasalalauga mataʻutia vitio i le mataʻituina o le saogalemu, aʻoaʻoga mamao, fonotaga vitio ma isi matāʻupu e manaʻomia ai le taimi maualuga o faʻasalalauga vitio. Faʻatonuina o fesoʻotaʻiga, fesuiaiga, leo, Ethernet ma isi faʻailoga e faʻafetaui ai manaʻoga o le tele-auaunaga talosaga,

I se tulaga lautele, o le transceiver fiber opitika e liua le faailo eletise a le tagata faʻaoga i se faʻailoga faʻapipiʻi mo le faʻasalalau, ae o le transceiver opitika e masani ona liua le faailo E1 i se faʻailoga mata.
