OEO(Optical-Electrical-Optical) repeater is a device used in optical transmission which converts signals by amplifying and shaping, even the conversion of wavelength and the pattern. With the OEO repeater, we can effectively save fibre resources and network costs.

Types of OEO Repeater
01- 10G OEO Repeater
The optical transponder can convert 1G~11.3 Gbps Ethernet signals into a corresponding wavelength in CWDM and DWDM network infrastructures. It enables network operators to implement a wide range of media conversions in a compact and flexible design.
02- 40G&100G OEO Repeater
It can perfectly realize the function of optical signal regeneration and amplification, signal cleaning, and shaping with features of highly compact structure, flexible configuration, and low power consumption.

OEO Repeater Advantages
1.Wavelength Conversion
When adding a CWDM Mux/Demux or DWDM Mux/Demux into a WDM network, there is a requirement to convert the optical wavelengths like 850nm, 1310nm, and 1550nm to CWDM or DWDM wavelengths. Then the OEO transponder comes to assist. 
The OEO transponder receives, amplifies, and re-transmits the signal on a different wavelength without changing the signal content.
2.Signal Repeating
In long haul fiber optic transmission, OEO transponder also can work as a repeater to extend network distance by converting wavelengths (1310nm to 1550nm) and amplifying optical power. 
The OEO converter converts the weak optical signals from the fiber into electrical signals, and regenerates or amplifies them, then recovers them into strong optical signals for continuous transmission.

OEO Repeater FAQs
What does OEO 3R mean?
OEO repeater is also known as transponder OEO. This component uses the Optical-Electrical-Optical principle to offer the conversion between different wavelengths of optical signals. "3R" means re-timing, re-shaping, and re-amplifying.

Optical repeater definition
What is repeater in optical fiber communication?
An optical communications repeater is used in a fiber-optic communications system to regenerate an optical signal. Such repeaters are used to extend the reach of optical communications links by overcoming loss due to attenuation of the optical fiber.
How far can fiber go without a repeater?
Modern fiber optic cables can carry a signal quite a distance -- perhaps 100 km. On a long-distance line, there is equipment need each 80 or 100km.
What is the function of repeater?
A repeater is an electronic device in a communication channel that increases the power of a signal and re-transmits it, allowing it to transmission further.
