Synchronous XFP to SFP+ cable division multiplexing

Sopto’s XFP to SFP+ cable are compact transceivers which function as modular connectors. Available for copper (RJ-45) and all common fiber modes, wavelengths and data rates, they allow network operators to connect different interface types into the same network equipment, via an XFP to SFP+ cable port. The cost of cable upgrades is greatly reduced – preserving the investment in costly networking equipment, for the price of a relatively inexpensive SFP, XFP to SFP+ cable. More and more network equipment is being designed with these ports to take advantage of their flexibility, and to take the uncertainty and guesswork out of expensive equipment purchases


Comparing with other 10G modules such as XFP to SFP+ cable, X2 and Xenpak, SFP+ transceiver is the smallest 10G form factor.SFP+ module is interchangeable with SFP module and can be used in the same cages as SFP module.SFP plus is an upgraded version of the small form pluggable transceivers.SFP(small form-factor pluggable) is a compact, hot-pluggable transceiver used for both telecommunication and data communications applications. The electrical interface to the host board for SFP module and SFP+ module is the same serial.
