A typical fiber optic system consists of a transmitting device, which generates the light signal; an optical fiber cable (one or two cores for transmitting and receiving), which carries the light; and a receiver, which accepts the light signal that is being transmitted. The fiber itself is passive and does not contain any active, generative properties. For CommFront products, the transmitting and receiving devices are built within the same device. Sometimes we call it a Fiber Optic Converter or Fiber Optic Transceiver.
