Classification of optical modules

There are many types of optical modules that can be classified according to package classification (SFP,SFP+,XFP,XENPAK), transmission distance, wavelength and rate (10G/40G/ 100G optical module). Then it mainly describes which fiber jumper types should be used by 10G/40G/ 100G optical module.

A 10G optical module is an optical module that can send and receive 10G data signals per second. According to the different packages, 10G optical module can be divided into XENPAK optical module, X2 optical module, XFP optical module and SFP+ optical module. At present, 10G SFP+ optical module is more popular, which is very popular because:

(1) strong compatibility: SFP+ optical module and SFP optical module are the same size, so they are compatible with all SFP models.

(2) small size: this can be seen from the appearance.

(3) low cost: SFP+ optical module can follow a variety of specifications developed by SFP standard, so the manufacturing cost of SFP+ optical module is low, and the power consumption of SFP+ optical module is low, which can save cost.

The type of optical fiber jumper corresponding to 40G optical module

40G optical module refers to the optical module with a transmission rate of 40G, and its packaging form is CFP and QSFP+, which are mainly used for backbone network transmission. 40G QSFP+ optical module is one of the most widely used optical modules, but there are many models.

The speed of 100G optical module is 100G. At present, the main types of 100G optical module on the market are: CXP optical module, CFP optical module, CFP2 optical module, CFP4 optical module and QSFP28 optical module.
