SFP

Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers are compact, hot-pluggable modules used in telecommunications and data communications to interface with both fiber optic and copper networks. Defined by a multi-source agreement (MSA), SFPs are supported by numerous vendors and are compatible with a wide range of networking equipment. They support standards such as Gigabit Ethernet, SONET, and Fibre Channel, making them ideal for flexible, high-speed connectivity. Often referred to as Mini-GBICs, SFPs have largely replaced older GBIC modules thanks to their smaller size and modular design. Whether you need fiber or copper connections, SFPs provide scalable, plug-and-play network expansion.
