SFP and SFP+ for Gigabit Ethernet Applications

Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) is a specification for a new generation of optical modular transceivers. The devices are intended for use with small form factor (SFF) connectors, and offer high speed and physical compactness. They are hot-swappable.

SFP+ (enhanced small form-factor pluggable) is a standardized form factor for fiber optic transceivers and is used in datacom and telecom optical links, offering a smaller footprint and lower power consumption than XFP transceivers for 10G applications. SFP+ transceivers are designed to be hot-swappable in industry-standard cages and connectors, and offer high-speed performance in a compact package. As knew that SFP was the first standardized form factor in this family, and has been used for data rates up to 4G. Then, with the need for compact transceivers at high data rates, an enhanced version named SFP+ was developed for applications up to 10G and beyond. SFP+ transceivers are interchangeable with SFP transceivers and can be used in the same cages as SFP transceivers because of their same shape as SFP modules. What’s more, the electrical interface to the host board for SFP and SFP+ modules is a serial interface.

According to the difference function or application, even the standard of the pluggable transceivers, there are many kinds of them. The commonly available pluggables include the SFP, SFP+, XENPAK, X2 etc.

Fiberstore provides various kinds of optical communication products which are compliant with standards including Fast Ethernet (FE), Gigabit Ethernet (GE), 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE), Fibre Channel (FC), SONET/SDH and WDM and operate at data rates from 100M to 100G for data-center, HPC (High-Performance Computing), access, metro-regional, wireless, and long haul net-works. They feature outstanding performance over extended voltage and temperature ranges, while minimizing jitter, elzectromagnetic interference (EMI) and power dissipation. For example, the SFP/SFP+ transceiver is part of them.

According to the brands, our SFP transceivers are divided into two big parts: Compatible SFP and custom SFP. Fiberstore manufactures a complete range of compatible SFP transceivers, such as 1000BASE T SFP, 1000BASE LX/LH SFP, 1000BASE SX SFP, CWDM SFP, DWDM SFP, BiDi SFP, and compatible Cisco SFP, HP SFP, Juniper SFP, Netgear SFP etc.. The custom SFP transceivers can be any type up to the customers'requirements and own the brand labeling of Fiberstore.

Cisco SFP-10G-LR

10 GbE is 10 times the bandwidth of 1 GbE, so it's 10 times 1 GbE.10G SFP+ Transceiver (enhanced SFP, also known as SFP Plus) is a next-generation optical module specified by the ANSI T11 Group for 8.5/10/16Gbps Fiber Channel and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications. Fiberstore manufactures and supplies a complete range of SFP+ modules including SFP-10G-SR, 10GBASE-LR SFP, SFP-10G-LRM, CWDM SFP+, DWDM SFP+, BIDI SFP+, Dual-Rate SFP+, and SDH/SONET SFP+.
