SFP+ transceivers so popular
The small form-factor pluggable modules are the most popular family of fiber optic transceivers. SFP+ transceivers are used in almost all fiber optic networks. The main reason for using fiber optic cable in campus networks is the distance limitation of unshielded copper cables.
Advantages of SFP+ transceivers Size and dimensions Maximum link length
Operability with single-mode and multi-mode fiber optic cable
Pay-As-You-Grow model Hot swappable Protocol Independence Backwards compatibility SFP+ transceivers are the smallest industry-standard form-factor available in the market that supports 10 Gbps Etherneta. SFP+ transceivers provide the opportunity to extend this distance considerably. SFP+ transceivers help in cost optimization and maximum budget utilization in any organization. SFP+ transceivers can be procured as and when needed.
SFP+ transceivers are hot swappable transceivers; they are plug-and-play devices that require no configuration on the equipment.
The main functionality of SFP+ transceivers is to convert the electrical signals to optical signals and vice versa. SFP+ is fully backwards compatible. 1 Gbps SFP transceiver can be installed in the SFP+ socket in the communication equipment.
