CFP

CFP optical module is a kind of module that can support hot plug, it mainly used in metropolitan area network, It can convert the input electrical signal into optical signal output to achieve longer distance transmission and also can convert the received optical signal into electrical signal output.

QSFP28

The QSFP28 optical module uses the most advanced 100G transmission technology to provide data center operators with a connection between the chassis switch and the core network, which provides an ideal solution for the ever-increasing transmission distance of ultra-large data centers.

QSFP+

QSFP+ is a optical module which designed to meet the market demand for higher density high-speed pluggable solutions.

The 4-channel pluggable interface has a transmission rate of 40Gbps.

XFP

The XFP multi-source protocol was proposed in 2002, the emergence of XFP optical modules and the rapid development of technology, as well as its small size, low price advantage, has been widely used.

SFP+

SFP+ is the latest pluggable optical module for SFP applications in 10Gbit/s Ethernet and 8.5gbit /s fiber channel systems.

It has obvious advantages of high density, low power consumption and lower system construction cost.

X2

The X2 optical module is the main type of package module in 10G optical modules, which was developed by XENPAK. It is a hot-swappable input/output device, it mainly used for Ethernet X2 port switches or routers and network connection ports.

XENPAK

Supporting all optical interfaces defined by IEEE802.3ae which is important step in the evolution of optical module products,  The technology has high maturity and is widely used. It is bulky and consumes a lot of power.

It is also an early 10 gigabit optical module, mainly used in some older devices.

SFP

SFP is also called mini-GBIC. The biggest advantage is  hot-plug and small size. Used in optical communications applications in telecommunications and data communications, supporting SONET, Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and other communications standards.

GBIC

GBIC is an interchangeable product that meets international standards. At present, GBIC has been basically replaced by SFP, Except for some older devices, GBIC has been basically eliminated from the market.
