brief introduction: A transceiver is a device comprising both a transmitter and a receiver that are combined and share common circuitry or a single housing. When no circuitry is common between transmit and receive functions, the device is a transmitter-receiver. Similar devices include transponders, transverters, and repeaters. Fiber Optic Transceivers are often used in modern optical communication channels to enable the ability to send optical signals (light) down an optical fiber from a transmitter, through a fib
