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

The selection of the appropriate SFP module depends on the type of cable medium used (multimode, single mode, simplex, or 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 features like optional digital diagnostic functionality.

With a maximum bandwidth of up to 1.25 GBit/s, SFP modules support both Gigabit Ethernet and Gigabit Fibre Channel. The various models are optimized for different ranges, temperature conditions, and specific applications.
