Optical Transceivers (SFP, SFP+, XFP)
SFPs, SFP+s and XFPs are compact transceivers that function as modular connectors. Available for copper (RJ-45) and all common fiber modes, wavelengths and data rates, these modules allow network operators to connect different interface types to the same network equipment via an SFP, SFP+, XFP port. The cost of cable upgrades is greatly reduced, preserving the networking equipment investment – all for the price of a relatively inexpensive module.
