About the use of SPF+ transceiver
The (SFP) transceiver is a highly compact insertable module, used in telecommunication networks and computer networks. SFPs are designed to support, Gigabit Ethernet, SONET, FiberChannel, and several other communication standards.
The enhanced SFP+ Transceiver is an improved and latest version of SFP. It maintains the same format, but it supports a higher data rate, up to 10 gigabits per second.
A SFP + slot can be designed to accept a standard SFP module. There is thus a possibility of backward compatibility between SFP + and SFP. This makes it a popular format in the industry and it is buoyed up by component vendors.
