The Different between Cisco SFP Transceivers And Cisco XFP Transceivers

---

 

Network main transmission capacity
continues to expand and improve the rate of optical fiber communication makes
the modern information network as the main means of transmission. Dramatic
increase in the optical communication network, optical transceiver modules lead
to a diversity of needs continuous development technology to meet such
application requirements.

 

Optical module how much you know about it,
do not worry, follow my steps slowly to understand. Today, we have to first
understand which two optical modules.
Cisco SFP vs Cisco XFP .

 

fiber-mart.com SFP (small form-factor
pluggable) is a compact, hot-pluggable transceiver used for both
telecommunication and data communications applications. The form factor and electrical
interface are specified by a multi-source agreement (MSA). It interfaces a
network device motherboard (for a switch, router, media converter or similar
device) to a fiber optic or copper networking cable. It is a popular industry
format jointly developed and supported by many network component vendors. SFP
transceivers are designed to support SONET, Gigabit Ethernet, Fiber Channel,
and other communications standards.

 

fiber-mart.com supply various kinds of SFP
module 100% compatible with Cisco, HP, Juniper, Net gear, DELL, CWDM SFP, DWDM
SFP, BIDI SFP and 10G SFP.As a 3rd party OEM manufacturer, our cisco sfp
transceivers are delivered to worldwide from our factory directly. All of our
Cisco SFP module are tested in-house prior to shipment to guarantee that they
will arrive in perfect physical and working condition.

 

fiber-mart.com XFP (10 Gigabit Small Form
Factor Pluggable) is a hot-swappable optical transceiver is independent of the
communication protocol, usually transmitted light wavelength is 850nm, 1310nm
or 1550nm for 10G bps SONET / SDH, Fiber Channel, gigabit Ethernet, 10 gigabit
Ethernet and other applications, including DWDM link. XFP contains similar
SFF-8472 digital diagnostic modules, but extended to provide a powerful
diagnostic tool. XFP modules use an LC fiber connector type to achieve high
density.

 

fiber-mart.com
XFP transceiver is a high performance, cost effective modules for
serial optical data communications applications specified for signal rates of
10.30 Gb/s to 11.3 Gb/s. It is fully compliant to XFP MSA Rev 4.5. The XFP
modules are designed for single mode fiber and operates at a nominal wavelength
of 850/1310/1550 nm including DWDM XFP, CWDM XFP,BiDi XFP,10G XFP and
compatible Cisco XFP, Juniper XFP, Brocade XFP. We guarantee the XFP
transceivers to work in your system and all of our XFP comes with a lifetime
advance replacement warranty.

 

SFP and XFP difference:

 

The 1, SFP and XFP are 10G fiber module,
can communicate with each other and with other types of 10G module;

The 2, SFP is smaller than XFP module
Dimensions;

The 3, Smaller SFP signal modulation
function, serial / deserializer, MAC, clock and data recovery (CDR), as well as
electronic dispersion compensation (EDC) function from the module to the
motherboard on the card
