def _get_form_factor_preconf(self):
return self.__form_factor_preconf<EOL>
Getter method for form_factor_preconf, mapped from YANG variable /components/component/transceiver/state/form_factor_preconf (identityref)

    YANG Description: Indicates the type of optical transceiver used on this
port.  If the client port is built into the device and not
pluggable, then non-pluggable is the corresponding state. If
a device port supports multiple form factors (e.g. QSFP28
and QSFP+, then the value of the transceiver installed shall
be reported. If no transceiver is present, then the value of
the highest rate form factor shall be reported
(QSFP28, for example).

The form factor is included in configuration data to allow
pre-configuring a device with the expected type of
transceiver ahead of deployment.  The corresponding state
leaf should reflect the actual transceiver type plugged into
the system.
