XFP Technology
The XFP (10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable) MSA is a specification for a pluggable, hot-swappable optical interface for 10 Gigabit SONET/SDH, Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, and other applications. The MSA Document (not yet public) provides a common specification for systems manufacturers, system integrators, and suppliers of pluggable XFP modules.
XFP modules are optical transceivers, typically 1310nm or 1550nm. Optical XFPs include Digital Diagnostics (similar to SFF-8472, but much more powerful) that provide a powerful optical management tool. MRV provides a wide range of XFP-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 XFP is in the density, flexibility, management and cost savings.
