ABSTRACT:
A transceiver test module and method for testing an optical transceiver. An optical wrap interconnects the optical transmitter and optical receiver of an optical transceiver. A processor system reads information from an optical transceiver; provides a signal to the optical transceiver to operate the optical transceiver to transmit a signal at the optical transmitter, which is received via the optical wrap; detects diagnostic information from the optical transceiver for errors of the optical transceiver; and determines the rated speed of the optical transceiver from the read information. Operation of the optical transceiver at the rated speed is verified by the diagnostic information.
