SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggables) can simply understand the upgraded version of GBIC. The SFP module (the volume is reduced by half compared to the GBIC module, and the number of ports that can be more than doubled on the same panel can be configured on the same panel.
1. SFP+and XFP are 10G optical fiber modules, and the 10G modules of other types can be connected;
2. SFP+smaller size than XFP;
3. Because the size of the signal modulation function is smaller, the signal modulation function, the serial/solution, the MAC, the clock and the data recovery (CDR), and the electronic color dispersion compensation (EDC) function moved from the module to the motherboard card;
4. A protocol for XFP compliance: XFP MSA protocol;
5. SFP+follow-up protocol: IEEE 802.3AE, SFF-8431, SFF-8432;
6. SFP+is a more mainstream design.
