Build universal optical transceivers with our Smart Recode Device 5 (SRD 5)
GET STARTED!
Too many modules,
too little time?
You work with transceivers from multiple vendors.
Many modules from major brands come with locked configurations,
restricting flexibility and making it harder to adapt to evolving network needs.
In many cases, even minor adjustments require purchasing new, vendor-specific transceivers, as
existing modules cannot be reprogrammed.
It’s slow, frustrating – and it doesn’t have to be this way.
That’s why we built SRD 5
SRD 5 is our most advanced recoding tool yet. A compact, wireless solution that streamlines transceiver programming anywhere.
It supports all common formats:
SFP, SFP+, SFP28, SFP56, SFP-DD, SFP112, QSFP+, QSFP28, QSFP-DD, OSFP.
You don’t even need a laptop – just use the SRD Go app on your phone to manage the device.
It minimizes electronic waste and extends the lifespan of your transceivers.
Made for mobile teams
SRD 5 can be operated directly from a smartphone, powered by virtually any source, and is perfectly suited for field use. SRD 5 embraces the mobile era, catering to engineers and installation teams who prefer smartphones over laptops. The device seamlessly transitions between mobile and desktop functionality, offering the same logic and features on both platforms. SRD 5 can be powered from various sources, including power banks, Power Delivery compliant USB ports, laptop USB sockets, and even directly from a smartphone.

How can I achieve universal optical transceivers?
The Smart Recode Device (SRD) from GBC Photonics is a professional device designed to alter the configuration of optical transceivers to work with most of the network devices available on the market. Essentially, the module becomes a universal optical transceiver.
- With the SRD Go app, you can program transceiver compatibility — anytime, anywhere.
- The app also allows you to check the technical details of your GBC Photonics modules. Once a module is coded using SRD 5, its current configuration could be checked by scanning the label with the barcode.
- Simply scan the barcode on the label or enter the serial number to receive detailed technical data. Each time you reprogram the transceiver with the GBC Photonics SRD device, the app will show you the latest configuration.
