Uses of SFP Connectors


Small form-factor pluggable, or SFP, devices are hot-swappable I/O equipment used mainly in network and storage switches; they permit the switch to accord to fiber cables of various varieties -- as well as single-mode and multimode -- and speeds (1 Gbps, 10 Gbps), or maybe Ethernet copper cables, like CAT5e and CAT6.



Almost all enterprise-class switches represent two or more SFP ports, allowing them to become a part of a circle or star-based configuration spread among entirely different buildings, floors or areas, and associated via fiber optic cabling.

In several cases, SFP ports are called mini-Gigabit interface convertor (GBIC) modules, as they need replaced the older GBIC transceivers.

SFPs will be used and interchanged on a large form of product, and that they will be interchanged in mixtures of 1000BASE-T, 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX/LH, 1000BASE-EX, 1000BASE-ZX or 1000BASE-BX10-D/U on a port-by-port basis.
