Differences and connection between XFP transceivers and XFP modules

2017-09-23
Recently friends advice: XFP transceiver and XFP module What is the difference? Can you connect to each other? This article will be from the distinction between the two kinds of commonly used fiber connection equipment.
Differences and connection between XFP transceivers and XFP modules
XFP module

XFP modules are generally used in fiber switches and fiber routers, commonly used types of SFPXFP module, SFP module can not be used alone, optical switches, routers and other fiber optic equipment, a main component.
Differences and connection between XFP transceivers and XFP modules
XFP transceiver

XFP transceiver is a photoelectric conversion device, can be used independently; simple to the XFP transceiver can be used as a single-port fiber switch.
They are the same point of the photoelectric conversion equipment; the difference is that one can be used alone; one must belong to the accessories used in the main equipment.
 How many connections; In fact, many fiber networks, many users use the host room with fiber optic switches with XFP module; central office or end with XFP transceiver. This kind of network is relatively simple. Room maintenance is also more convenient.

The above content I hope we can have these two products have a general understanding. This 2 product selection parameters are basically the same, how to choose to contact us. Here is not one by one explained.

    With the continuous development of 5G communication technology, 100G modules are gradually becoming popular. We know that there are many kinds of packages for 100G optical modules. From 2000 to now, the optical module package types have been rapidly developed. Its main package types are: GBIC, SFP, XENPAK, SNAP12, X2, XFP, SFP+, QSFP/QSFP+, CFP, CXP. In the fast-developing network era, some 100G optical modules avoid the risk of being eliminated, and upgraded and revised with the wave of the Internet, such as 100G CFP optical modules.

    1. What is the CWDM SFP? The CWDM optical module is an optical module using CWDM technology to implement the connection between the existing network device and the CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer. When used with a CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer, CWDM optical modules can increase network capacity by transmitting multiple data channels with separate optical wavelengths (1270 nm to 1610 nm) on the same single fiber.

    AOC is the abbreviation of Active Optical Cables, which is called Active Optical Cables in Chinese. AOC active optical is to encapsulate two optical modules and cable together. Because the medium of transmission in the middle is optical cable, AOC optical module, which contains laser devices, has a higher price for DAC. However, its optical aperture is not exposed, it has high reliability, and its working distance can be customized for a long distance of less than 100 meters.

    Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology is capable of transmitting data in an optical fiber using bit wavelength parallel transmission or string line transmission using the wavelength of the laser.It is widely used in different fields of communication networks, including long-distance backbone networks, metropolitan area networks (MANs), residential access networks, and local area networks (LANs).The DWDM optical module is the optical module that uses this technology, so the DWDM optical module has high bandwidth and long-distance transmission characteristics.
