What is an Optical SFP, and what types of Optical SFPs are available at D-Tech Trading?

Introduction to Optical SFP

Small Form-Factor Pluggable, or SFP, is a compact, hot-pluggable transceiver used in both data communication and telecommunication applications. SFP modules are essential in connecting various devices such as switches, routers, and servers within a network. At D-Tech Trading, we are into the supply of quality optical SFP modules to meet a wide range of operational needs.

Features of Optical SFP Modules

Easy-Pluggable Design: Allows for easy installation and replacement without shutting down devices.

Multi-Rate Compatibility: Support for data rates from 100 Mbps to 10 Gbps.

Versatility: Compatible with both single-mode and multi-mode fiber.

Compact Size: Can be installed in high-density networks.

Wide Range of Wavelengths: It usually supports wavelengths such as 850 nm, 1310 nm, and 1550 nm.

Distance Support: Ranges from a few meters to more than 100 kilometers based on the type.

Standards Compliance: Complies with MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) for interoperability

Types of Optical SFP Modules Available at D-Tech Trading

Based on Transmission Medium

Single-Mode SFP (SMF):

• Designed for long distance transmission.

• Operates over single-mode fiber cables.

• Range - typically 10 km to 100 km.

Multi-Mode SFP (MMF):

• Ideal to be used in short-distance communication.

• It works over multi-mode fiber cables.

• Typical range - up to 500 meters.

Based on Data Rates

1. 1G SFP:

Supports data rates up to 1.25 Gbps.

Normally used in Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and SONET applications.

2. 10G SFP+:

High-speed version of SFP with data rates up to 10 Gbps.

Generally used in high-speed data centers and storage networks.

Based on Wavelengths

1. 850 nm (MMF): Suitable for short-range applications using multi-mode fibers.

2. 1310 nm (SMF): It supports medium-range transmission over single-mode fibers.

3. 1550 nm (SMF): It is used in long-range applications over single-mode fibers.

Based on Special Features

1. BiDi SFP (Bidirectional):

• Uses one fiber for both sending and receiving data.

• Cheaper where the number of fibers is limited.

2. CWDM/DWDM SFP:

• For wavelength-division multiplexing, these are designed.

• Allows multiple data streams over a single fiber by assigning different wavelengths.

Copper SFP (RJ45):

Used for connecting to copper Ethernet cables.

• Supports distances up to 100 meters.
