Small form factor pluggable transceiver (SFP) is a small, hot-swappable optical transceiver used in optical communication applications in telecommunications and data communication. SFP connects the motherboard and fiber optic or UTP cables of network devices such as switches and routers. SFP is an industrial specification supported by some fiber optic device providers
SFP transceivers support SONET, Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and some other communication standards. This standard extends to SFP+and can support a transmission rate of 10.0 Gbit/s, including 8 gigabit fiber channel and 10GbE. The SFP+module version introduces fiber optic and copper core versions. Compared to the Xenpak, X2, or XFP versions of the module, the SFP+module leaves some of the circuits implemented on the motherboard rather than within the module.
