Cisco Transceiver Types Offered by Ingellen

This article is mainly written to introduce types of Cisco transceivers or Cisco compatible transceivers in the market, at the beginning, let confirm everyone know what Cisco stands for.
Cisco System, Inc. or Cisco, is the world leader in fiber optic networking that transforms how people connect, communicate and collaborate. Established in 1984, it has become the major provider of Internet solutions, his equipment and software products are widely used for the computer network systems connections.
Cisco transceivers is one of the popular products in the fiber optic transmission process, so does the Cisco compatible transceiver modules because transceivers need to fully compatible with the related router or switches to work formally if they are all belongs to Cisco brand. This article will introduce you type of Cisco transceivers.
Cisco transceivers are classified by the package forms, from the earliest, there are 1x9, SFF, GBIC, SFP, X2, XENPAK, SFP+, XFP Currently, the most popular types in the applications is the later six, which are Cisco SFP, Cisco GBIC, 10G Cisco transceivers SFP+, XENPAK, XFP, and X2.
Cisco GBIC is a hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into a Gigabit Ethernet port or slot, connecting the port with the network. It adopt SC connector type, which is a progress versus the previous 1x9 and SFF.
Cisco Xenpak is with SC connector, and is one of the early developed 10Gbps fiber optic transceivers developed by Cisco, based on the Xenpak Multi-source Agreement (MSA) which was instigated by Agilent Technologies and Agere Systems.
Cisco X2 is a hot swappable products designed for 10Gbps applications. It supports a wide range of 10Gbps standards, include the 10Gbps Ethernet, OC192/STM-6 SONET/SDH, OC192 VSR and 10G Fibre Channel.
Cisco SFP+, also called Cisco SFP plus, is another 10Gigabit Ethernet transceivers, used to link the equipment to the fiber optic networks. Cisco SFP+ is currently the smallest size 10G transceivers, with much lighter weight and lower power consumptions compared with the formaer 10G X2, and Xenpak. Typical Cisco SFP+ modules includes SFP-10G-SR, SFP-10G-LR, etc.
Cisco XFP are hot swappable I/O devices to plugs in the ports or slots on the 10G ports and link these ports to optical fiber networks. It is also used for 10Gigabit Ethernet and related 10G applications. XFP MSA is a multi source agreement by various manufacturers in this industry. Typical Cisco XFP are XFP-10G-MM-SR, XFP-10GB-SR, XFP-10GB-LR, etc.
The last is Let’s see Cisco SFP transceiver, or say Cisco Gigabit Ethernet SFP, the upgraded version of GBIC transceiver, are Small Form-Factor Pluggable for Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and several other communications. Typical Cisco optical transceiver modules are like GLC-SX-MM, the Cisco 1000Base-SX Gigabit Ethernet SFP, while for copper SFP is GLC-T, Cisco GLC-T SFP, it also can be called Cisco 1000base-T SFP, which works with Category 5 wiring for max 100 meters span, which is compliant to 1000Base-T standards for Gigabit Ethernet.
