Which Transceiver is Called Small GBIC?

Many people do not know the difference between SFP Module and SFP+ Module. So, sometimes, they occurs unnecessary trouble. Let's know this fact: 10G module has experienced from the 300Pin, XENPAK, X2, XFP development, finally achieve the same size and SFP transmission of 10G signal, this is SFP+. 

SFP+ optical transceiver is the SFP (sometimes called "mini-GBIC ") upgrade. In a Gigabit Ethernet and 1G, 2G, 4G fiber channel on SFP has been widely applied. SFP+ in order to adapt to the higher data rate, design than SFP enhanced electromagnetic shielding and signal protection characteristics, and to develop new electrical interface specification.

The SFP is the hot swap and small package module, the highest rate of up to 10G, using LC interface. SFP (Small Form Pluggable) can be simply understood as the upgrade version of GBIC. SFP module volume ratio of GBIC module can be reduced by half, in the same panel configuration of many more than doubled the number of ports. Other basic functions of SFP module are the same with GBIC so that some switches manufacturer calls SFP module for small GBIC (MINI-GBIC). 

1.25Gbps CWDM SFP Optical Transceiver

SFP Module It is a popular industry format jointly developed and supported by many network component vendors. SFP Module is designed to support SONET, Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and other communications standards. Due to its smaller size, SFP obsoletes the formerly ubiquitous gigabit interface converter (GBIC); the SFP is sometimes referred to as a Mini-GBIC although no device with this name has ever been defined in the MSAs.

The enhanced small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) is an enhanced version of the SFP that supports data rates up to 10Gbit/s. SFP+ (Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus) is an innovative, next-generation optical transceiver. Initially, it is targeted to support speeds of 10Gbps for next-generation Gigabit Ethernet applications. It is smaller than any of the currently shipping form factors and provides the highest density per line card.

We manufacture and sell complete range of compatible SFP+ transceivers, such as SFP+ MM 300m, SFP+ 10km, SFP+ 40km, SFP+ 80km, CWDM SFP+, DWDM SFP+, WDM SFP+, and compatible cisco SFP+ and so on.
