The 10G module has undergone development from 300Pin, XENPAK, XPAK, and XFP, and finally realized the transmission of 10G signals in the same size as SFP, which is SFP+.
SFP+ is miniaturized and low-cost, which satisfies the equipment's high-density requirements for optical modules. The standard was introduced in 2002 and replaced XFP in 2010 as the mainstream of the 10G market.
The size of SFP+ is the same as that of SFP, which is more compact than XFP (about 30% reduction), and power consumption is also smaller (reduced some signal control functions)
The SFP+ applications included
*10GBASE-SR at 10.3125Gbps
*10GBASE-SW at 9.953Gbps
*10GBASE-LR at 10.3125Gbps
*10GBASE-LW at 9.953Gbps
*10GBASE-ER at 10.3125Gbps
*10GBASE-EW at 9.953Gbps
*10GBASE-ZR at 10.3125Gbps
*10GBASE-ZW at 9.953Gbps
*CPRI at 10.137Gbps
*10Gbps CWDM/DWDMOptical systems
*LTE systems
*Other Optical links
After years of development, 10G SFP+ has been mature and stable in technology and application. Together with 1000MBase SFP, it is the most meaningful product in the development of optical communications.
