SFP, the full name Small Form-factor Pluggable, is a small hot-pluggable optical module. Its small size is relative to GBIC packaging. SFP's volume is reduced by half compared to GBIC modules, allowing more than double the number of ports to be configured on the same panel. Optical modules typically have an electrical interface on the side that connects to the inside of the system and an optical interface on the side that connects to the outside. The optical module serves as a crucial component in optical fiber communication systems, operating at the physical layer, which is the lowest layer in the OSI model. Its primary function is to achieve optoelectronic conversion by converting electrical signals into optical signals and vice versa. An. The optical module, known as Optical Transceiver in English, is a general term for various module categories, including optical receiver modules, optical transmitter modules, optical transceiver modules, and optical forwarding modules. Additionally, identifying module information helps detect coding.
