The Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) is an exchangeable transceiver module used in compatible active devices. It is distinguished by its compact design, smaller than all currently available form factors, and provides the highest density per interface. Many modern network devices are already equipped with slots for modular optical transceivers, offering users maximum flexibility in network configuration. Thanks to its special design, the SFP module can also be installed or replaced during operation (hot-swap) without interrupting network functionality.

The choice of the appropriate SFP module depends on the type of cable medium used (multimode, single mode, simplex, twisted pair) and the required bandwidth. Standards such as the Multi Source Agreement (MSA) and the SFF-8472 specification ensure a standardized design and provide additional advantages like optional digital diagnostic functions.

SFP modules with a maximum bandwidth of up to 1.25 GBit/s support both Gigabit Ethernet and Gigabit Fibre Channel. The various models are optimized for different ranges, wavelengths, and environmental conditions, including options for extended operating temperatures and long-distance transmissions.
