An SFP module is a hot-swappable input and output device for plugging into a gigabit Ethernet port. This device links the port to the fiber-optic network. Each SFP interface module has a working range that varies, depending on the individual module. SFP modules provide a convenient method of adopting gigabit Ethernet in a variety of networking settings, including storage area networks, data centers, campus networks and metropolitan area access networks. Additionally, each individual SFP gigabit Ethernet interface module supports standards for fiber connectivity, such as the IEEE 802.3z standard. Check the specification list or with our customer service personnel to make sure you are receiving the exact components you need. The options in our two-strand SFP gigabit Ethernet interface modules include Signamax branded devices with spans up to 110 kilometers. We also carry a hardened, high-temperature range version designed to operate in industrial environments with operating temperature ranges of -40º C to +85º C. Among single-strand products, we offer bi-directional WDM and CWDM SFP gigabit Ethernet fiber interface modules and WDM 100BaseFX/BX SFP modules. These modules provide a cost-effective means of providing changeable gigabit Ethernet or SONET OC-12 single-fiber, single-mode interfaces to switches and media converters equipped with a standard SFP slot.
