Optical module interface type

SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggables) can be easily understood as an upgraded version of GBIC. The SFP module (which is half the size of the GBIC module and can be configured with more than double the number of ports on the same panel. Since the SFP module is basically the same as the GBIC function, it is also known by some switch manufacturers as miniaturized GBIC -GBIC).
Optical module interface type
The available optical SFP modules are generally classified into the following categories:

1,850 nm wavelength / 550 m distance MMF (SX);

2,1310 nm wavelength / 10 km distance SMF (LX);

3,1550 nm wavelength / 40 km distance XD;

4,80 km away from the ZX

5,120 km distance from EX or EZX;

6, DWDM.

In addition, the SFP transceiver also provides a copper interface, so that the main equipment for fiber-optic communications design can also communicate through the UTP network cable. There are also SFPs for wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) and single fiber "bidirectional" (1310/1490 nm wavelength up / down).
 
GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter), is the Gigabit electrical signal into optical interface devices. GBIC design can be used for hot swap. GBIC is an interchangeable product that conforms to international standards. Gigabit switch with GBIC interface design because of the exchange of flexible, in the market occupies a larger market share.

GBIC module is divided into two categories: First, the common cascade of the use of GBIC module to achieve the general connection with other switches; Second, the stack dedicated GBIC module, and other switches to achieve redundant connection.

GBIC is currently basically replaced by SFP.

    With the continuous development of 5G communication technology, 100G modules are gradually becoming popular. We know that there are many kinds of packages for 100G optical modules. From 2000 to now, the optical module package types have been rapidly developed. Its main package types are: GBIC, SFP, XENPAK, SNAP12, X2, XFP, SFP+, QSFP/QSFP+, CFP, CXP. In the fast-developing network era, some 100G optical modules avoid the risk of being eliminated, and upgraded and revised with the wave of the Internet, such as 100G CFP optical modules.

    1. What is the CWDM SFP? The CWDM optical module is an optical module using CWDM technology to implement the connection between the existing network device and the CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer. When used with a CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer, CWDM optical modules can increase network capacity by transmitting multiple data channels with separate optical wavelengths (1270 nm to 1610 nm) on the same single fiber.

    AOC is the abbreviation of Active Optical Cables, which is called Active Optical Cables in Chinese. AOC active optical is to encapsulate two optical modules and cable together. Because the medium of transmission in the middle is optical cable, AOC optical module, which contains laser devices, has a higher price for DAC. However, its optical aperture is not exposed, it has high reliability, and its working distance can be customized for a long distance of less than 100 meters.

    Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology is capable of transmitting data in an optical fiber using bit wavelength parallel transmission or string line transmission using the wavelength of the laser.It is widely used in different fields of communication networks, including long-distance backbone networks, metropolitan area networks (MANs), residential access networks, and local area networks (LANs).The DWDM optical module is the optical module that uses this technology, so the DWDM optical module has high bandwidth and long-distance transmission characteristics.
