The direct difference between multimode and single-mode SFP
2017-06-14
Multimode and single-mode fiber generally refer to a type of connection with the SFP optical module. Here we look at these two kinds of fiber optic cable.
Multimode :
Almost all of the dimensions of multimode fiber are 50/125um or 62.5/125um, and the bandwidth ( the amount of information transmission fiber ) is usually 200MHz to 2GHz. Multimode Optical via multimode fiber can be up to 5 km of transmission. In the light emitting diode or a laser light source . Pull the ring or in color black.
Single mode :
The size of the single-mode fiber is 9-10/125 um, and compared with multimode fiber with unlimited bandwidth and lower loss of properties.The single-mode optical transceiver used for the long-distance transmission , and sometimes up to 150-200 km . Using a narrow spectral line LD or LED as a light source . Pull the ring or in color is blue , yellow or purple.
Differences and relations :
Single-mode fiber is cheap, but single-mode equipment is more expensive than the same kind of multimode equipment. Single-mode devices typically can run on single-mode fiber can also be run on a multi-mode fiber , and multimode device only runs on multimode fiber .
10G module has experienced from 300 pin, XENPAK, X2, the development of XFP, finally achieved to use and the size of the SFP as 10G of signal transmission, that is the SFP +. SFP with its miniaturization, low-cost advantages to meet the needs of equipment optical module density, standard pushed on, from 2002 to 2010 has replaced XFP become the mainstream of 10G market. Conclusion: the single mode fiber and single mode module USES has become the mainstream. Single mode is obviously better than the multimode on the use of type.

012019-10With 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.

012019-101. 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.

012019-10AOC 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.

012019-10Dense 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.
