Fibre-optic communication involves transmitting a signal as light, converting electrical signals to optical signals at the transmitter end and reversing the process at the receiver end. Fiber Opt Click is based on one IF-D91, a fiber-optic photodiode, and one IF-E97, a fiber-optic LED, both from Industrial Fiber Optics. Its optical response extends from 400 to 1100nm, making it. Let's say I want to use a STM32F769 microcontroller. It comes with a 10/100 MAC interface. On the other end, I have SFP moduls, either copper or fiber, 1000 Base-SX or 1000 Base-T. fibre is really a good project to do this kind of thing. For a new beginer, implement an rpc from scratch is not an easy thing and I think fibre is a good start. The STM32 series of microcontrollers fully meet the requirements and can easily meet the electronic compatibility environment required by the fiber-optic communication system. This project would include both hardware (can be breadboard or some simple PCBs) and firmware. The ethernet signals after LAN8742 are going both in the RJ45 connector and also in Fiber optic transceiver.
