Transceiver
The transceiver is basically to take one a color in. So a 1310, for example, and convert it into something else into 1552.7 or whatever it might be. It's injecting those four different colors in the same way. We multiplex it, we demultiplex on the receive and break it back into those individual colors. And when we look at the fiber, if we actually measure on there with a special light frequency sensitive measurement, his name's failed me. I don't have it, but it's fine. You got four independent lasers providing a transmit and receive on the four independent pairs of fiber that you've got inside this connector. They're all just
