The Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module is an interchangeable component used in compatible active network devices. Its compact design makes it smaller than any currently available form factors and offers the highest port density per interface. Many modern active network devices are already equipped with slots for modular optical transceivers, providing users with maximum flexibility in network configuration. Due to its specialized design, SFP modules can be installed or replaced during operation (hot-swap) without affecting the network's functionality.

The selection of the appropriate SFP module depends on the cable type (multimode, single-mode, simplex, twisted pair) and the required bandwidth. Standards such as the Multi Source Agreement (MSA) and SFF-8472 ensure a standardized design and optional features like Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM), which allows for precise connection monitoring.

With a maximum bandwidth of up to 1.25 GBit/s, these SFPs support both Gigabit Ethernet and Gigabit Fibre Channel. They are suitable for a wide range of distances, from 550 m in multimode networks to 120 km in single-mode environments.

Safety Information:

Fiber-optic components emit visible and invisible light, which can cause permanent eye damage. To avoid injuries:

• Never look directly into optical ports.
• Cover unused ports with protective caps.
• Activate the connection only after all ports are fully connected.
• The active laser components comply with Laser Class 1 standards.
