Generally, we classify the application range of optical modules into three different range levels according to their application scenarios. Commercial Temperature Range (COM): 0 °C to 70°C Extended Temperature Range (EXT): -20°C to 85°C Industrial Temperature Range (IND):. Optical modules usually have different temperature grades, which are suitable for commercial, extended and industrial environments. Commercial temperature (C-temp) transceivers are designed to operate from 0°C to 70°C. These temperature specifications typically include two key parameters: Operating Temperature Range: This range defines the minimum and maximum temperatures. The temperature range of the optical transceiver determines the available temperature numerical value of the module. Different modules come with different temperature variants depending on their types, form factors, applications, and manufacturers.
