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.
