SFP Transceivers
SFP or Small Factor Pluggable Transceiver is a
small and compact optical transceiver engineered
for providing reliable optical connection for
network speeds from 100Mb/s up to 4GB/s.
5
SFP Transceivers
SFP is an enhanced version of the SFP
transceiver capable for network speeds up to
10GB/s. Although the SFP official documentation
doesnt mention using it for 16GB/s data rates,
experience shows that SFP supports 16GB/s data
rates for fibre channel applications.
6
cSFP Transceivers
The cSFP Transceiver is another version of the
popular SFP transceiver that offers two
independent bidirectional channels per port. It
is most commonly used to decrease the fiber usage.
7
QSFP Transceivers
QSFP or the Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable is a
transceiver that provides speeds from 40GB/s up
to 56GB/s. These transceivers are mainly used in
Data Center environments and provide high
performance computing networks.
8
QSFP28 Transceivers
QSFP28 transceivers are used mainly to provide
100GB/s Ethernet solutions. These transceivers are
also available as Direct Attach Cable Solution.
Besides the Multimode Type this transceiver also
is available with the capability of reaching the
mark of 10 kilometers distance with the help of
G.652 fiber link for 100G links..
9
CFP Transceivers
The CBO BlueOptics CFP transceiver is designed
for long range 100GB/s Ethernet connections over
a Single-mode fiber cable. However it can also
support one or more 40GB/s links.
10
CFP2 Transceivers
CFP2 transceivers are also designed for long
range Single-mode fibers connectivity. They have
Duplex connectors. CFP2 are smaller in size than
the CFP transceivers but both are constructed in
metal containers.
11
CFP4 Transceivers
CFP4 transceivers are the most modern
C-Form-Factor Pluggable (CFP) transceivers. They
are the smallest of all the CFP transceivers which
makes them easier to handle and install. They
also come with a Duplex connector and can reach
distances of up to 10 kilometers.
12
X2 Transceivers
X2 transceivers are a standardized type
of transceivers used mainly in the elder 10GB
Ethernet solutions. They can be used both in
Ethernet and Fiber Channel versions and are used
in Datacenter environments rather than Service
Provider environments. 
13
XENPAK Transceivers
XENPAK transceivers come with Duplex, CWDM and
DWDM connectors. They are the predecessor of the
X2 and bigger than the X2 transceivers in size.
They also provide speeds from 1GB/s up to 10GB/s
with Multi- or Single-mode Fibers.
14
XFP Transceivers
The XFP Transceiver is the predecessor of the
SFP transceiver and has been developed in the
year 2002. It is a slightly larger in size than
the Small Form-Factor Pluggable transceivers.
They are hot swappable and are available as
Duplex, BIDI, CWDM and DWDM variant.
15
GBIC Transceivers
GBIC stands for Gigabit Interface Converter and
is most commonly used before the SFP transceiver
for speeds from 100MB/s up to 4GB/s. It can
operate with Copper, Single-mode or Multi- mode
Fibers. It comes with Duplex, CWDM, DWDM and
Copper connectors.
16
Conclusion
All CBO BlueOptics transceivers are developed by
the latest standards and they are fully MSA
compliant. The MSA standard is a Multi-Source
Agreement under which the various manufacturers
of networking equipment determine the
standardizations of their transceivers.
