With the popularity of broadband applications, the emergence of cloud services, the processing and management of the huge amount of data (big data), coupled with consumer electronics innovation which result in promoting internal and external highspeed transmission interface towards higher transmission rates, high broadband backbone technology has been increasingly relied upon to fulfill these applications and services. For huge Internet demand, high-speed fiber transmission interface trend is already taking shape. In fact, different forms of 10G optical transceiver products has been extended to general internal and external high-speed interfaces from existing high-speed optical networks. The article describes 10G optical fiber influencing factors which result in poor communication quality in the short, medium and long-distance transmission and does detailed comparisons and theoretical analysis with existing market products which are based on their experimental data. The goal is to establish an effective evaluation techniques, to specify requirements for the optical transceiver modules to ensure the quality in the system, and to provide product selection principles to the relevant 10G optical transceiver user.
