SFP Module for High - Speed Fiber Communication

The SFP or the Small Form Factor Pluggable Module, unlike other methods, serves as a hot-swappable device that can be used in a network without the need of shutting it down. It does allow for the conversion of electrical signals to optical signals and vice versa making it easier for networking devices to transmit and receive information through fiber optic cables. So many variations in SFP and copper based connections exist, ranging from 1G to even faster speeds. They can be found in a plethora of switches, routers, and even media converters. This makes them very handy as no change to the network design is needed, and also makes it easier to upgrade or change network interfaces as network requirements fluctuate.
