XFP Transceivers

XFP transceivers are designed for high-speed computer network applications and telecommunications links employing optical fiber. Sometimes referred to as ‘10 Gigabit small form factor pluggable’, XFP transceivers are slightly larger than their closest counterparts which happen to be the SFP and SFP+ standards.

Using an XFP module, you will notice that they are truly hot-swappable and protocol-independent. The diversity and flexibility within the transceivers are no doubt the primary reason why it’s preferred by so many professionals in the computer network and telecommunications industries. XFP transceivers can operate over a single wavelength or can be used with dense wavelength-division multiplexing techniques.
