On the basis of XENPAK and XPAK, SerDes is completely removed, the SerDes part is placed outside the optical module, and a serial 10Gbps electrical interface is made on the optical transceiver. This interface is used to connect external SerDes devices, thereby greatly reducing In consideration of power consumption, size and cost, this is XFP (10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable), released in 2005.
◎1x9, GBIC, SFF, and SFP do not support a 10Gbps rate.
◎XENPAK, XPAK, X2, XFP can support 10Gbps rate.
