Network main transmission capacity will continue to expand and increase the rate of optical fiber communication makes the modern information network as the main way of transmission. Dramatic rise in the optical communication network, optical transceiver modules result in a diversity of needs continuous development technology to meet such application requirements.
Optical module how much you understand about it, do not worry, follow my steps slowly to understand.Today, we must first understand which two optical modules.Cisco SFP vs Cisco XFP .
SFP module:
Fiberstore SFP(small form-factor pluggable) can be a compact, hot-pluggable transceiver used for both telecommunication and knowledge communications applications. The form factor and electrical interface are per a multi-source agreement (MSA). It interfaces a network device motherboard (to get a switch, router, media converter or similar device) to a fiber optic or copper networking cable. It’s a popular industry format jointly developed and sustained by many network component vendors.SFP transceivers are designed to support SONET, Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, as well as other communications standards.
Fiberstore supply a variety of SFP module 100% compatible with Cisco, HP, Juniper, Netgear, DELL, CWDM SFP , DWDM SFP , BIDI SFP and 10G SFP.As a 3rd party OEM manufacturer, our cisco sfp transceivers are sent to worldwide from your factory directly. All of our Cisco SFP module are tested in-house prior to shipment to guarantee that they will get to perfect physical and dealing condition.
XFP module:
Fiberstore XFP (10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable) is a hot-swappable optical transceiver is independent of the communication protocol, usually transmitted light wavelength is 850nm, 1310nm or 1550nm for 10G bps SONET / SDH, Fibre Channel, gigabit Ethernet, 10 gigabit Ethernet and other applications, including DWDM link. XFP contains similar SFF-8472 digital diagnostic modules, but extended use a powerful diagnostic tool.XFP modules work with an LC fiber connector type to accomplish high density.
FiberStore XFP transceiver is really a powerful, cost effective modules for serial optical data communications applications specified for signal rates of 10.30 Gb/s to 11.3 Gb/s. It’s fully compliant to XFP MSA Rev 4.5. The XFP modules are prepared for single mode fiber and operates with a nominal wavelength of 850/1310/1550 nm including DWDM XFP,CWDM XFP,BiDi XFP,10G XFP and compatible Cisco XFP, Juniper XFP, Brocade XFP. We ensure the XFP transceivers to be effective in your metabolism and every one of our XFP includes a lifetime advance replacement warranty.
SFP and XFP difference:
The 1, SFp and XFP are 10G fiber module, can communicate with each other and with other sorts of 10G module;
Both the, SFP has a smaller footprint than XFP module Dimensions;
The 3,Smaller SFP signal modulation function, serial / deserializer, MAC, clock and knowledge recovery (CDR), in addition to electronic dispersion compensation (EDC) function from the module to the motherboard around the card
