Power and Latency of SFP+ and 10GBASE-T in the Data Center
Recent advancements have allowed switch manufacturers to significantly lower power consumption on 10GBASE-T server and switch ports. While early versions of 10GBASE-T switches required up to 12 Watts per port, switch vendors now offer a range of 1.5 to 4W per port depending on distance.
Despite the reduced power consumption for 10GBASE-T, the small form factor pluggable (SFP+) interface that has been widely deployed for 10 gigabit ToR switches continues to use less power—typically less than 1 W per port.
With simplified electronics, SFP+ also offers better latency—typically about 0.3 microseconds per link. 10GBASE-T latency is about 2.6 microseconds per link due to more complex encoding schemes within the equipment.
When you consider an environment where data transmits through three switches, 10GBASE-T therefore introduces nearly an 8 microsecond delay, while SFP+ introduces less than 1 microsecond delay.
Lower power consumption and lower latency makes SFP+ well suited for large high-speed supercomputing applications where latency is a critical factor and where high port counts can add up to significant power savings.
