Abstract:
1. A optical network unit (ONU) transceiver module comprising: a housing; a printed circuit board disposed in the housing; a laser driver disposed on the printed circuit board and configured to receive electrical signals from an external component; a laser coupled to the laser driver and configured to transmit optical signals through an optical fiber; an optical receiver coupled to a post amplifier and configured to convert optical signals to electrical signals; the post amplifier, wherein the post amplifier is disposed on the printed circuit board and is configured to communicate electrical signals to the external component; an RF interface separate from the laser driver and the post amplifier, wherein the RF interface is disposed on the printed circuit board and is configured to receive and transmit RF signals to and from the external component and convert RF signals to electrical signals and vice versa, the RF signals being different than both the electrical signals received by the laser driver and the electrical signals communicated by the post amplifier; and a direct connect RF pin configuration comprising;
