Everything You Need To Know About SFPs (Small Form-factor Pluggable)

An SFP (small form-factor pluggable), is a compact and efficient hot-pluggable transceiver that can easily connect devices and enable communication via data transmission. These compact tools find utility in both realms of telecommunication and data communications. These modules transmit and receive data simultaneously, using copper or fiber optic cables to provide optical or electrical reach. They are also used in computer networks to facilitate high-speed internet connections. Syrotech Networks stands as a leading provider across India, delivering SFPs (Small Form-factor Pluggable) that adhere strictly to industry standards, thereby ensuring seamless network connectivity. Our compact modules are meticulously designed for easy integration with various communication standards, guaranteeing peak performance.

What are the Different Types of SFP Modules?

Small-form pluggable (SFP) modules are used with most modern networks and fall into four main categories: application, transmission rate, transmission range, and cable type. Here are some types of SFP modules:

​

  • PON SFP: Can be divided into SFF (small form factor), SFP (small form pluggable, 4G), SFP+ (enhanced small form pluggable, Ethernet 10G), or XFP (standard small form pluggable, serial 10G)

​

  • SFP56: Compatible with previous SFP and SFP28 modules, this pluggable transceiver enables transmission from 100m to 10 km at up to 50G

​

  • Copper SFP modules: Based on the High-Speed Serial Data Connection HSSDC2 interface standards, this module provides a female HSSDC2 connector

​

  • QSFP28, SFP28, and QSFP+: Part of Smartoptics's hot-swappable small form-factor family of optical transceivers and cables, these provide a cost-effective way to achieve instant fiber connectivity

​

  • Single-mode and multimode SFP: These two fiber optic SFP module types work on different fiber types

​

  • Single-mode SFP (SMF): Used with single-mode fibers, while multimode SFP (MMF) means SFP optic that should be used together with multimode fiber patch cables

​

  • Unidirectional (simplex) SFP and duplex (duplex) SFP: Different fiber optic SFP modules are available with distances ranging from 100 meters to 160 km.

SURVEILLANCE

Consideration for Choosing an SFP Module

When choosing an SFP module, you can consider things like:

Compatibility

Make sure the module is compatible with your network equipment, such as a router or switch. You can check the manufacturer's specifications.

​

Fiber type

The fibers on both ends of the SFP fiber modules should be the same type. You can identify the fibers by the standardized colors on their outer jacket.

​

Connector type

Consider the connector type, especially if your environment has a mix of older and newer networking devices. Most SFP fiber transceivers accept LC fiber connectors, but this may not be true in all cases.

​

Transmission rate

Consider the speed you need for your network. SFP optical transceivers cover a wide range of data rates, from 155 Mbps and 622 Mbp at low speeds to 1 Gbps at the most popular data rates.

​

Cost

Consider the cost of the module.

​

Buying new

New fiber optic SFP modules typically come with a manufacturer's warranty and the latest technology.
