A transceiver can include a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter can include: a primary laser emitter; a primary monitor photodiode optically coupled with the laser emitter; a spare laser emitter; and a transmitter integrated circuit having a primary channel operably coupled with the primary laser emitter; a spare channel operably coupled with the spare laser emitter; a switch on the primary channel; and a secondary channel operably coupled with the switch and the spare channel. The receiver can include: a primary detector photodiode; a spare detector photodiode; and a receiver integrated circuit a primary receiver channel operably coupled with the at least one primary detector photodiode; a spare receiver channel operably coupled with the spare detector photodiode; a receiver switch on the spare receiver channel; and a secondary receiver channel operably coupled with the receiver switch and the primary receiver channel.
