Abstract
A pluggable transceiver is provided for achieving a redundant connection in a communication network when inserted in a communication network node of the communication network. The pluggable transceiver is connected to a first cable on a first input and is directly connected to two or more data-plane ports when inserted. The pluggable transceiver comprises a converter to receive incoming data in a first representation and convert the incoming data from the first representation into a second representation, and a distributor to distribute the incoming data to a first data-plane port among the two or more data-plane ports in the second representation. The pluggable transceiver comprises a first selector to select the first data-plane port and receive outgoing data from the first data-plane port in the second representation, where the first data-plane port is active.
