An SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) is a hot-swappable transceiver module that plugs into the SFP port of networking equipment (switches, routers, OLTs, media converters). A fiber SFP converts electrical signals from the device into optical signals for transmission over fiber optic cable and converts incoming optical signals back into electrical signals.
Key benefits:
Hot-swappable care-free replacement and upgrades
Flexibility to mix optical and copper interfaces on the same chassis
Wide range of distances and data rates available
Cost-effective and vendor-agnostic options when standards are followed
