What is the difference between XFP Transceivers and SFP+ Transceivers ?

Image
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...

How does the BIDI module work?

Image
  The BIDI optical module is a single-fiber bidirectional optical module, namely BiDi (Bidirectional). The conventional module is a dual-fiber module (connected by two optical fibers), and there are two optical fiber ports at the optical fiber interface: the transmitting port (TX) and the receiving port (RX), while the BIDI module is a single-fiber module with only one optical fiber port and one optical fiber port. Different optical signals are transmitted and received inside, so BIDI optical modules must be used in pairs. In terms of appearance, the BIDI module has only one port and is connected with only one optical fiber. The working principle of the BIDI optical module is to filter through the filter in the optical module (filter the unnecessary central wavelength), and complete the transmission of an optical signal of one wavelength and the reception of an optical signal of another wavelength at the same time. In order to achieve two-way communication, there must be The other...
