XFP Module

XFP Module is a standard for transceivers for high-speed computer network and telecommunication links. It uses optical fiber that operates at near-infrared wavelengths(colors) of 850nm, 1310nm or 1550nm. XFP Module is hot-swappable and protocol-independent mainly applicable in 10Gigabit Ethernet, 10Gbit/s Fiber Channel, synchronous optical networking (SONET) at OC-192 rates, synchronous optical networking STM-64, 10 Gbit/s Optical Transport Network OTU-2, and parallel optics link. The XFP standard was specified by the XFP Mufti-Source Agreement Group. It can operate over a single wavelength or use dense wavelength-division multiplexing techniques with an LC fiber connector type to achieve higher density.
