Technical Overview
SFP Module
An SFP transceiver module (Figure 1) is a bidirectional device with a transmitter and receiver in the same physical
package. The module interfaces to the network through a connector interface on the electrical ports and through an
LC termination connector on the optical ports. Electrical interfaces and dimensions are defined in the SFF-8472
industry-standard multisource agreement (MSA).
