SFP

What is SFP?

SFP stands for Small Form-factor Pluggable, which is a type of transceiver module used in data communication and telecommunications networks.

The SFP module is a hot-pluggable device that can be easily replaced or upgraded without shutting down the system. The SFP module is designed to transmit data over fiber optic or copper cables, and can support data rates up to 10 Gbps or higher. It is commonly used in switches, routers, and other networking devices to provide high-speed connectivity between network devices. The SFP module is smaller than traditional transceivers and consumes less power, making it an ideal choice for high-density networking applications. It is also more cost-effective than other transceiver modules, as it can be replaced or upgraded without replacing the entire device. Overall, the SFP module is a versatile and high-performance transceiver that enables fast and reliable data transmission in modern communication networks.
