Factors of Optical Transceiver Modules https://www.cbo-it.de/de/produkte/blueoptics/transceive r/qsfp.html

BlueOptics transceivers are available in several form factors:

BlueOptics SFP transceivers BlueOptics SFP+ transceivers BlueOptics cSFP transceivers BlueOptics SFP28 transceivers BlueOptics QSFP transceivers BlueOptics QSFP28 transceivers BlueOptics CFP transceivers BlueOptics CFP2 transceivers BlueOptics CFP4 transceivers BlueOptics X2 transceivers BlueOptics XENPAK transceivers BlueOptics XFP transceivers BlueOptics GBIC transceivers

SFPÂ Transceivers

SFP or Small Factor Pluggable Transceiver is a small and compact optical transceiver engineered for providing reliable optical connection for network speeds from 100Mb/s up to 4GB/s.

SFP+Â Transceivers

SFP+ is an enhanced version of the SFP transceiver capable for network speeds up to 10GB/s. Although the SFP+ official documentation doesn’t mention using it for 16GB/s data rates, experience shows that SFP+ supports 16GB/s data rates for fibre channel applications.

cSFPÂ Transceivers

The cSFP Transceiver is another version of the popular SFP transceiver that offers two independent bidirectional channels per port. It is most commonly used to decrease the fiber usage.

QSFPÂ Transceivers

QSFP or the Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable is a transceiver that provides speeds from 40GB/s up to 56GB/s. These transceivers are mainly used in Data Center environments and provide high performance computing networks.

QSFP28Â Transceivers

QSFP28 transceivers are used mainly to provide 100GB/s Ethernet solutions. These transceivers are also available as Direct Attach Cable Solution. Besides the Multimode Type this transceiver also is available with the capability of reaching the mark of 10 kilometers distance with the help of G.652 fiber link for 100G links..

CFPÂ Transceivers

The CBO BlueOptics CFP transceiver is designed for long range 100GB/s Ethernet connections over a Single-mode fiber cable. However it can also support one or more 40GB/s links.

CFP2 Transceivers

CFP2 transceivers are also designed for long range Single-mode fibers connectivity. They have Duplex connectors. CFP2 are smaller in size than the CFP transceivers but both are constructed in metal containers.

CFP4Â Transceivers

CFP4 transceivers are the most modern C-Form-Factor Pluggable (CFP) transceivers. They are the smallest of all the CFP transceivers which makes them easier to handle and install. They also come with a Duplex connector and can reach distances of up to 10 kilometers.

X2Â Transceivers

X2 transceivers are a standardized type of transceivers used mainly in the elder 10GB Ethernet solutions. They can be used both in Ethernet and Fiber Channel versions and are used in Datacenter environments rather than Service Provider environments.

XENPAK Transceivers

XENPAK transceivers come with Duplex, CWDM and DWDM connectors. They are the predecessor of the X2 and bigger than the X2 transceivers in size.

They also provide speeds from 1GB/s up to 10GB/s with Multi- or Singlemode Fibers.

XFPÂ Transceivers

The XFP Transceiver is the predecessor of the SFP+ transceiver and has been developed in the year 2002. It is a slightly larger in size than the Small Form-Factor Pluggable transceivers. They are hot swappable and are available as Duplex, BIDI, CWDM and DWDM variant.

GBICÂ Transceivers

GBIC stands for Gigabit Interface Converter and is most commonly used before the SFP transceiver for speeds from 100MB/s up to 4GB/s. It can operate with Copper, Single-mode or Multi- mode Fibers. It comes with Duplex, CWDM, DWDM and Copper connectors.

Conclusion All CBO BlueOptics transceivers are developed by the latest standards and they are fully MSA compliant. The MSA standard is a Multi-Source Agreement under which the various manufacturers of networking equipment determine the standardizations of their transceivers.
