Universal Transceiver - Our Voodoo
ENHANCE EVERY DETAIL, MAKE NO FUSS ABOUT IT
At FLEXOPTIX, we do a lot to make our Universal Transceivers a truly exclusive user experience. On one side the industry standard MSA gives a good basis for high quality transceivers but we don't stop here. There is a lot more to accomplish, before you can call a transeiver "Universal". It’s the many small details which make the usage of universal transceivers this hassle-free and convincing.

Orange big head:
This will protect the optical part of your transceiver while not in operation. Like you, we fiddled often enough with the small ones in high port density situations. So we designed the big heads (orange, for sure) with extra big latch for quick & easy removal, even if transceiver is already installed in device.
