What is the difference between XFP Transceivers and SFP+ Transceivers ?
Optical modules are one of the essential components for data transmission in fibre optic networks. 10G optical modules are widely used in schools, companies and other applications due to their low cost and power consumption. xfp optical modules and SFP+ optical modules are two common types of 10G optical modules, what is the difference between them? Can they communicate with each other? XFP optical module and SFP+ optical module basic introduction XFP is defined by the XFP Multi-Source Agreement (MSA). XFP optical module is a 10G optical module that supports hot-swappable and protocol-independent communication, and can transmit data at 850nm/1310nm/1550nm wavelengths, mainly used in 10G Ethernet, 10Gbit/s Fibre Channel, digital transmission of OC-192, synchronous optical network STM-64, 10Gbit/s Optical Transport Network (OTN) OUT-2 and parallel fibre links. SFP+ is an upgraded version of SFP, defined by the SFP+ Multi-Source Agreement (MSA), the SFP+ optical module is a small, hot-sw...
