XFP (10G)

XFP Transceivers- specification

XFP modules are highly advanced and independent of transmission protocols. They are equipped with an LC optical connector, that allows high port density. They operate on following wavelengths: 850nm, 1310 nm or 1550 nm. Their maximum bandwidth range is 11.35Gbps. The most common applications for this type of module are: 10Gigabit Ethernet, 10Gb/s Fiber Channel, 10Gb/s Optical Transport Network (OTN) OTU-2, SONET (OC-192), SDH @ STM-64. They operate over a single optical fiber and support WDM technology. Additionally, they maintain digital diagnostics in the SFF-8472 standard.

About XFP Transceivers

XFP transceivers are often said to be next step from XENPAK and X2. They are perfect for applications that require high port density (e.g., in switches or routers of high capacity) due to their small size and low power consumption.

The transceivers’ max distance is 80km, without additional amplification, but this value can change depending on the internal components of the model. Some modules possess electronic monochromatic dispersion compensation. In that case, the XFP transceiver can obtain the range of even 130km. The modules are compliant with HP, Cisco, Avaya, D-Link, Huawei, 3Com, Alcatel-Lucent, Netgear, Brocade, Extreme Networks and many other vendors.

Optical transceivers convert optical signal to electrical. On the market there are several standards of such modules. Each of them differs in terms of electrical interface and case size, as well as data rate, which can

The XFP transceiver works with single or multimode optical fiber, bandwidth from 9,95Gbps to 11,1Gbps, LC connector. For duplex, simplex, CWDM / DWDM transmission. High compatibility, proven quality.
