SFP Technology
The
SFP (Small Form Pluggable) MSA is a specification for a pluggable, hot-swappable
optical interface for SONET/SDH, Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, and other
applications. The MSA Document provides a common specification for systems
manufacturers, system integrators, and suppliers of pluggable SFP modules. It is
an internal working document of the SFF Committee, an industry ad hoc group.
Most SFP
modules are optical transceivers, multimode (850nm) or single-mode (1310nm). MRV
supplies these modules in addition to optical transceivers at other wavelengths
for use in CWDM (Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing) applications, and a wide
variety of copper SFPs for various protocols. Optical SFPs often include Digital Diagnostics (according to SFF-8472) that
provide a powerful optical management tool. MRV provides a wide range of
SFP-based systems with powerful features for physical network connectivity,
including media converters, distance extenders, cross-connects, Ethernet
switching and routing equipment, and wave division multiplexing solutions. The
power of the SFP is in the density, flexibility, management and cost
savings.
