3 Types of SFP Transceivers That You Want to Know

There are many types of SFP transceivers in the current market. Gigalight supply various types of
SFP module 100% compatible with Cisco SFP, HP SFP , Juniper SFP, Netgear SFP, DELL SFP CWDM
SFP, DWDM SFP, BIDI SFP, 10G SFP and so on. For many SFP transceiver types, I will introduce
three main types of SFP transceiver modules in detail.

1. CWDM SFP Transceiver :

CWDM SFP (Small Form Factor Pluggable) transceiver is actually an optical transceiver compact
used in communications optics both for applications in telecommunication and communication
of data on the wavelength. CWDM SFP are widely used to link the ports of the network of fiber
optics, typical CWDM SFP as Cisco could support both Gigabit Ethernet and Fiber Channel .
CWDM SFP modules take advantage of the SFP interface for connecting the computer and use
interface connector fiber PC LC double for the connection of the network optics. Gigalight CWDM
SFP transceivers can be found with a number of different types of transmitter and receiver,
allowing users to decide on the appropriate transceiver for each link to provide the required
optical range over the available optical fiber.

2. DWDM SFP Transceiver:

Dense wavelength multiplexing transceivers (DWDM Division) offer DWDM transport with far
lower power and the cost of a standard SFP pluggable package. DWDM SFP is available in all
wavelengths of 100 GHz C / L bandwidth of ITU DWDM network. As multifrequency user
interfaces that support all protocols from 100 Mbps to 4.25 Gbps. The modules meet the
requirements of the Gigabit Ethernet IEEE802.3 standard ANSI specifications and channel of fiber,
they are suitable for interconnections in Gigabit Ethernet environments and channel of fiber. The
DWDM SFP was created to accept DWDM SONET / SDH (with or without FEC) for 200 miles links
and Ethernet / fiber protocol channel of traffic to the links 80 miles.

3. 10G SFP Transceiver :

The 10G SFP Transceiver Modules refers to 10G SFP Plus transceivers, It is known that sfp + is an
enhanced version of the SFP that supports data rates up to 10 Gbit /s. Several standards 10G SFP
has been set free, 10GBASE-SR is for fiber optic multimode OM3, SFP corresponding more
distance work 300 meters max, 10GBASE-LR is fiber optic mode only, corresponding SFP more
distance work of 10 km , 10GBASE-LRM is forFDDI multimode fiber , the SFP+ supports remote
work of 220 meters .
