Why the price of Cisco fiber optical module is so different

Why the price of Cisco fiber optical module is so different?

 

 

Firstly, we should know that the Cisco fiber optical module is divided into several categories. The GBIC modules and the SFP modules belong to the 1000M modules. X2 fiber modules and SFP+ modules belong to 10000M modules. Generally, the price of 10000M is greater than the 1000M module on the same level.

 

 

Secondly, take SFP module as an example, the SFP module is divided into single mode and multi-mode, etc, with different price. Usually, the ultra-long haul SFP module is the most expensive, and then is the single mode and the optic transfer module. The price of multi-mode is the cheapest.

 

 

The price of the ultra-long haul SFP module is more ten times than multi-mode fiber optical module. 

 

 

And why the price of the same type of module is very different on the Internet?

 

 

Firstly, some fiber optical modules are quality products, but some are fake products which are called OEM. 

 

 

Of course, the quality products are expensive then the fake products. In addition, the quality module is divided into the old and new, some merchants will collect some old modules and then renovate them to sell.

 

 

So above all, is the cause of the price is different.
