The design and realization of a monitoring platform for SFP optical transceiver module

This paper proposes a design and realization of a monitoring platform for SFP optical transceiver module. With the adoption of this platform, the real-time temperature, power supply, bias current, transmit power and receiver power of optical transceiver module´s monitoring can be realized. The measurement of these parameters will help to forecast the fault and find the fault position of optical link. With the forecast of the fault, the unit that may be faulted can be displaced early and the cost will be reduced. By malfunction orientation, the technical staff can find the fault position of optical link in a short time, the time of repairing becomes shorter. The use of this platform simplifies the maintenance work and enhances the reliability of communication system.
