The rapid growth of the data center requires the server with higher performance. From the initial 100M, 1G, 10G, to 40G and 100G, high-speed Ethernet has never stopped developing. The 10G Ethernet (IEEE802.3ae) standard was approved in 2002. In the 10G network, engineers are often confused about cho

Most users feel puzzled about the compatibility of SFP and SFP+, and the real point that puzzles them is if the SFP module will work when plugging it into the SFP+ slot. For lots of engineers, this is also an issue that hard to get a clear answer. In this condition, this post will bring you to concl

Nowadays, as the core optoelectronic device in the optical communication network, the types of the optical module is increasing, and its functions also becoming more and more complicated. Different types of optical modules are emerging such as SFP, SFP +, XFP, QSFP, GBIC and BIDI. We’ll take SFP opt

There have been numerous different form factors and optics types introduced since 10 gigabit Ethernet has been launched years ago. XENPAKS, the oldest, is very popular as the install base is large, while the newest SFP+ offers a much smaller form factor and the ability to offer 1G/10G combo ports on
