Electronic device with pluggable front end module

Abstract

Implementations of the present disclosure relate to an electronic device with a pluggable front end module. The electronic device comprises a housing comprising a plurality of small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports for receiving a plurality of pluggable modules and the plurality of pluggable modules comprising at least one SFP module and at least one pluggable front end module (FEM). The electronic device further comprises a first circuit unit provided inside the housing and a second circuit unit provided inside the housing. The electronic device further comprises a multiplex unit provided inside the housing, and the multiplex unit is configured to enable communications between the pluggable FEM and the first circuit unit, and enable communications between the SFP module and the second circuit unit. By implementing pluggable FEM and inserting the pluggable FEM into an SFP port, implementations of the present disclosure can be more flexible, replaceable and modular.
