There have been multiple variants of the electrical interface of optical modules that have been used over the years. Optical modules are crucial for today's communication systems as they convert electrical signals into light signals for rapid data transfer. As module bandwidth increases, the ever-growing need for faster data rates drives transceivers towards miniaturization, high speed, and low power consumption to accommodate higher integration and denser connectivity requirements.
