The
Small Form factor Pluggable (SFP) system is used in
attaching copper or fibre optic pluggable transceivers
and cable assemblies to host equipment. The product
supports the design interface for use with multiple
data transfer protocols such as Gigabit
Ethernet, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand.
The system meets the requirements of standard GigaBit
Interface Converter (GBIC) products, with reduced size
and increased data-transfer rates reaching at least
2Gbps.
SFP applications include :
Network switches
Routers
Servers
Storage Devices
Mounted
on the host PCB and protected by a low-profile metal
cage, this system is designed to guide and support the
industry-compatible mating module. Capable of hot
swaps with various fibre optic transceivers, copper
modules and patch cables, the design is contained
within one PCB connector interface.
The system
operates on 3.0 V power supply voltage, 0.5 amps
maximum and operating temperatures from
-40oC to
+85oC.
