[![Zero Dependencies](https://img.shields.io/badge/Dependencies-Zero-green.svg)](#)
Open-source optical transceiver database for network engineers, tooling developers, and infrastructure automation.
**159 products. 42 IEEE/MSA standards. 16 form factors. 9 speed tiers.**
From 1G SFP to 800G OSFP. Zero dependencies.
## Why?

No open-source transceiver database existed. Network engineers, inventory systems, and automation tools had to maintain their own fragmented lists. Now there is a single, typed, searchable source of truth.
## Install
```bash
npm install transceiver-db
```
## Quick Start
```typescript
import { searchTransceivers, getBySpeed, getStandard } from 'transceiver-db';
// Search by any keyword
const results = searchTransceivers('100G LR');
console.log(results.map(t => `${t.standard} (${t.formFactor}) - ${t.reachLabel}`));
// Filter by speed
const optics400g = getBySpeed('400G');
console.log(`Found ${optics400g.length} 400G transceivers`);
// Look up an IEEE standard
const standard = getStandard('400GBASE-DR4');
console.log(standard?.notes); // "4x100G parallel SMF. THE key 400G data center optic."
```
## API Reference
### Transceivers
```typescript
import {
transceivers, // All 159 transceivers (readonly array)
searchTransceivers, // Full-text search across all fields
getByFormFactor, // Filter by form factor ("SFP+", "QSFP-DD", etc.)
getBySpeed, // Filter by speed tier ("10G", "100G", "400G", etc.)
getByReach, // Filter by minimum reach in meters
getByCategory, // Filter by category ("DataCenter", "Coherent", etc.)
getById, // Get single transceiver by ID
} from 'transceiver-db';
```
### Standards
```typescript
import {
standards, // All 42 IEEE/MSA standards
getStandard, // Find by exact or partial name
searchStandards, // Search by keyword
} from 'transceiver-db';
```
### Competitors
```typescript
import {
competitors, // 12 major vendors (Cisco, Juniper, Arista, etc.)
getCompetitor, // Find by name
} from 'transceiver-db';
```
### Breakout Cables
```typescript
import { breakouts } from 'transceiver-db'; // 11 breakout configurations
```
### Types
```typescript
import type {
Transceiver,
Standard,
Competitor,
Breakout,
FormFactor, // "SFP" | "SFP+" | "QSFP-DD" | "OSFP" | ...
FiberType, // "MMF" | "SMF" | "Copper" | "N/A"
ConnectorType, // "LC" | "MPO-12" | "MPO-16" | "RJ45" | ...
ProductCategory, // "DataCenter" | "Metro" | "Coherent" | "DAC" | ...
PriceTier, // "Budget" | "Standard" | "Premium"

## Coverage
| Speed | Products | Form Factors |
|-------|----------|-------------|
| 1G | 9 | GBIC, SFP |
| 10G | 13 | XFP, SFP+ |
| 25G | 6 | SFP28 |
| 40G | 4 | QSFP+ |
| 50G | 2 | SFP56 |
| 100G | 20 | QSFP28, CFP, CFP2, CFP4, CXP |
| 200G | 4 | QSFP56 |

Each transceiver includes: standard, form factor, speed, reach, fiber type, wavelengths, connector, power consumption, temperature range, vendor compatibility patterns, use case description, and tags.
## Data Sources
All data comes from publicly available sources:
- IEEE 802.3 standards (802.3z, 802.3ae, 802.3ba, 802.3bs, 802.3cd, 802.3cu, 802.3cm, 802.3df, etc.)
- OIF standards (400ZR, 800ZR)
- Multi-Source Agreements (100G CWDM4 MSA, 100G PSM4 MSA, 100G Lambda MSA, OpenZR+)
- Vendor datasheets and public documentation
## Contributing
Contributions welcome. To add a new transceiver:
1. Fork the repo
2. Add the entry to `src/database.ts` following the existing format
3. Include all required fields from the `Transceiver` type
4. Add relevant vendor compatibility patterns
5. Submit a PR with a description of what you added
To add a new standard, update `src/standards.ts`.
