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.
