Optical Transceivers
1000BASE-SFP TRANSCEIVERS
Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) have been an industry standard for over a decade. Used in all applications from enterprise to telecommunications these transceivers can negotiate data rates from 100MB to 4.25GB making them some of the most versatile and utilized optics in the industry. With the ability to hot-swap these transceivers you don’t have to worry about any downtime while you update or reconfigure your network gear. synchronous optical networking (SONET), Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, PON, and other communications standards

10GBASE-XFP TRANSCEIVERS
XFP is a slightly larger form factor than the popular small form-factor pluggable transceiver, SFP and SFP+. XFP modules are hot swappable and support multiple physical layer variants. Principal applications include 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gbit/s Fibre Channel, synchronous optical networking (SONET) at OC-192 rates, synchronous optical networking STM-64, 10 Gbit/s Optical Transport Network (OTN) OTU-2, and parallel optics links. They include digital diagnostics that provide management that were added to the SFF-8472 standard.

Variants: SR, LR, ER, ZR, OC192, CWDM, DWDM
10GBASE-SFP+ TRANSCEIVERS
The SFP+ (enhanced small form-factor pluggable) is an enhanced version of the SFP that supports data rates up to 16 Gbit/s. SFP+ supports 8 Gbit/s Fibre Channel, 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Optical Transport Network standard OTU2. 10 Gbit/s SFP+ modules are exactly the same dimensions as regular SFPs, allowing the equipment manufacturer to re-use existing physical designs for 24 and 48-port switches and modular line cards. The SFP+ Form Factor includes digital diagnostics that provide management.

25GBASE-SFP28 TRANSCEIVERS
Small Form-Factor Pluggable Twenty Eight (SFP28) is a 25 Gbit/s interface which evolved from the 100 Gigabit Ethernet interface which is typically implemented with 4 by 25 Gbit/s data lanes. Identical in mechanical dimensions to SFP and SFP+, SFP28 implements one 28 Gbit/s lane accommodating 25 Gbit/s of data with encoding overhead. SFP28 modules exist supporting singlemode or multimode fiber connections. The SFP28 Form Factor includes digital diagnostics that provide management.

400GBASE-QSFPDD TRANSCEIVERS
Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable Double Density (QSFP-DD) 400G QSFP-DD transceivers are defined by IEEE 802.3bs Ethernet standard and is an evolution of 100G QSFP28 transceivers. On 400G QSFP-DD 400G Ethernet is achieved with increased data throughput while maintaining the same bandwidth on per channel basis. This is due to 100G QSFP28 using NRZ (Non-Return-to-Zero) encoding and 400G QSFP-DD using PAM4 (Pulse Amplitude Modulation 4 levels) encoding. More on that in 100G Single Lambda (100G PAM & Single Lambda). The QSFP-DD Form Factor includes digital diagnostics that provide management.
