SFP Transceiver Specification

SFP Transceiver Definition
SFP is the shortened form of Small Form-factor Pluggable. SFP transceiver is a compact optic transciver widely used in optic communications for telecommunication and data communications, which is infact a pluggable version of SFF(Small Form-factor).
SFP transceiver is a popular indussrty format which is governed by multisource agreements (MSA) from several fiber optic component vendors like A Agilent, IBM, Lucent, Siemens, Infineon, AMP/Tyco, and others.
The main parts in a transceiver include a FP laser (or uncooled DFB laser), a PIN optical receiver with TIA built in, a post amplifier, a laser driver, and a microprocessor.
Applications of SFP Fiber Optic Transcevier
SFP fiber optic transceivers are used for both telecommunication and data communication. . And they support SDH/SONET, Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, etc. This device has 10 I/O connections at the rear of the package and interfaces a network device mother board such as a swith, router, media converter, etc. to a fiber optic or copper networking cable. SFP transceivers are widely used in networks like metro access network, metro core network, Wide Area Networks.
Types of SFP transciever
SFP transceivers are available with a variety of different transmitter and receiver types, allowing users to select the appropriate transceiver for each link to provide the required optical reach over the available optical fiber type including multi-mode fiber or single-mode fiber. Optical SFP modules are SFP transceivers are available with a variety of different transmitter and receiver types, allowing users to select the appropriate transceiver for each link to provide the required optical reach over the available optical fiber type (e.g. multi-mode fiber or single-mode fiber). SFP transceivers are available for 850 nm (SX), 1310 nm (LX), 1550 nm (ZX), and DWDM/CWDM. Few types are listed below:
1. 1000Base-SX
2. 1000Base-LX/LH
3. 1000Base-ZX
4. CWDM SFP transceiver
6. SFP+ 10G
7. 1000Base-EX
8. DWDM SFP transceiver
SFP+ transceiver is an improved version of SFP and is intended for higher data rates, lower cost, and improved thermal performance which can support 8.5Gbit/s and 10.52Gbit/s Fibre Channel, 10Gbit/s Ethernet (10GBase SR, LR, and LRM), SONET OC-192 (9.95Gbit/s), and G.709 “OTU-2″ (10.7 Gbit/s). SFP transceiver has a Digital Diagnostic Monitoring interface and can automatically control output power and extinction ratio over a wide temperature range to compensate for laser degradation.
