What Is the Difference Between Optical Transponder and Transceiver?

A transceiver is a small, pluggable module that slots directly into a switch, router, or server to send and receive optical signals. A transponder is a larger, standalone device that converts signals between different wavelengths or protocols. For enterprise networks, data centers, and most standard deployments, an optical transceiver is what you actually need.
