XFP - transceiver standard published by MSA (Multi Source Agreement) March 27, 2002. It is designed for high speed computer and telecommunication networks using fiber optics.
XFP modules have a Hot Plugging feature. They are used in 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gbit / s optical fiber and SONET (Synchronous Optical Network). They can operate on a single wavelength or use a WDM (wavelength multiplication) technique.
XFP modules work with the XFI interface. They also have a digital diagnostic panel with which the user can manage the device.
Dimensions of the XFP transceiver housing are 8.5 mm x 18.35 mm x 78 mm. This size is smaller than the XENPAK transceivers, but larger than the SFP. By using these dimensions, it is possible to attach a radiator and thus increase cooling.
The XFP modules are divided into the following categories: Bibliography
