In telecommunications and networking, SFP stands for Small Form-Factor Pluggable. It is a compact, hot-swappable transceiver used to connect network devices like switches, routers, and media converters to fiber optic or copper cables.

⚡When selecting an SFP module, you should consider speed, distance, cable type, wavelength, and compatibility.

How to Choose the Right SFP?

Here Checklist Before Choosing an SFP Module

✅ What is the transmission distance? (Short-range MMF or Long-range SMF)
✅ Which fiber type is required? (Multi-Mode or Single-Mode)
✅ What is the wavelength needed? (850nm, 1310nm, 1550nm)
✅ Is the SFP module compatible with your switch/router? (OEM vs. Third-Party)
