SFP - ‘Small Form-Factor Pluggable’ transceivers are compact, hot-pluggable transceivers that superseded the now legacy XFP.
SFP data transfer rates can range between 10 Mbps to 1000Mbps some with 10/1000/1000 auto negotiation options (or 4Gbps Fibre Channel).
The SFP form factor offers both fibre and copper options. Copper is still used in many infrastructures but of course many enterprises are transitioning to fibre. Fibre optic SFPs support a more reliable cabling infrastructure which can transmit data further and can operate at higher bandwidth relative to copper. That said we at ATGBICS are still seeing high demand for our copper solutions and will continue to support our clients with this technology for some years to come. Please refer the the SFP Copper Technology Overview for more information.
