What is SFP transceiver? - FO4SALE.COM

Sun, 16 May 2021 23:05:16 +0000

http://www.fiberoptics4sale.com/c/Fiber-Optic-Transceivers.html

This slide shows a typical SFP transceiver module in different views. The first picture is a front view, which shows SFP module has two ports, one port has laser inside, which is the transmitter side. The other port has a photodetector inside, which is the receiver side.

So basically, SFP is a transceiver module, since it has transmitter and receiver in a single unit.

The second picture shows how SFP modules are used on PCB board.

The right picture shows a perspective view of SFP module, so you can clearly see its mechanical outlines.

SFP stands for Small Form-Factor Pluggable. It is a compact, hot-pluggable transceiver used for both telecom and datacom applications.

SFP module's mechanical interface and electrical interface are specified by a multi-source agreement, also called MSA.

MSA is an industrial group composed of many network component vendors, such as Finisar, Fujikura, Lucent, Molex, Tyco, etc.

Engineers from these major vendors came together and made a design that everybody agreed upon. So based on this MSA specification agreement, these companies can make products that can work together in a system without compatibility issues. It is almost like an industrial standard.

SFP was designed based on the bigger GBIC interface, but SFP has a much smaller footprint in order to increase port density. That is why SFP is also called mini-GBIC.

SFP modules are classified based on the working wavelength and its distance reach. Let's take a look at the list here.

For multimode fibers, the SFP module is called SX. SX modules use 850nm wavelength. The distance that SX module supports depends on the network speed. For 1.25 Gbps, the reach is 550 meters. For 4.25 Gbps, SX modules support 150 meters.

For single mode fibers, there are a lot of choices. I am listing the most common types here.

LX modules use 1310nm wavelength laser, and supports up to 10km reach. ZX modules use 1550nm wavelength laser, and supports reach up to 80km. ZX modules also use 1550nm laser, but supports up to 120km reach.

There are also CWDM and DWDM SFP modules, which use multiple wavelengths in the module to support even more bandwidth and distance.

And don't forget, the MSA also defined a SFP module based on the UTP twisted pair copper cables. But this SFP module currently only supports Gigabit Ethernet.

Traditional SFP modules supports speed up to 4.25 Gbps. But an enhanced version, which is called SFP+, supports up to 10 Gbps, and is becoming more popular on 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 8 Gbit Fibre Channel.

SFP transceivers are used on all types of network applications, including telecommunication, data communication, Storage Area Network.

On the protocol side, there are SFP modules that support SONET/SDH, Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, Optical Supervisory Channel, and more.

As a network engineer, it is always a good idea to familiar yourself with all these types of SFP modules to facilitate your own work.

How to connect to Cisco Switch and NON-CISCO SFP Trick

Sun, 16 May 2021 23:05:16 +0000

How to connect to a Cisco switch using a console cable and putty.
Also a trick for using NON-CISCO SFP Modules in your switch.

This video covers two parts. The first part of the video basics is to connect to a cisco switch with a console cable and a program named PUTTY. We will need a Cisco Console cable that will be used to connect to the console port of the switch.

Next is a trick on using NON-CISCO SFP modules in a cisco switch for expanding the network. Here are the commands that are used if you follow the video to enable the NON-CISCO SFP.

"service unsupported-transceiver"
"no errdisable detect cause gbic-invalid"

Here is a link to the cisco console cable that is used from Amazon
https://amzn.to/2Z0Jtyl

Here is a link to the program PUTTY that will be used
https://www.putty.org/

When using 3rd party GBICs, one must keep in mind that Cisco TAC will not provide any support for problems related to the SFPs as they are totally unsupported.

How to find a password for SFP transceiver using brute-force attack by dictionary?

Sun, 16 May 2021 23:05:16 +0000

1. Download SFPTotal Wizard 1.0.3.5 or above.
2. Read a code from Table A0h [00-7F] using "Read code" button
3. Modify least one byte from HEX grid in software interface. That is important because a code in software window should be differ from a code in transceiver.
4. Open menu Scripts - Password brute force
5. Set up password entering parameters (for example. Table address: A2h; password address: 7B)
6. Check Dictionary attack option
7. Select a dictionary file using "Dictionary path" button
8. Press "Start" to run brute force attack.

ComNet Tech Tips - SFP Modules

Sun, 16 May 2021 23:05:16 +0000

What is an SFP, and how do I use it? This ComNet Tech Tips Video will walk you through all the questions you need to ask yourself to select the appropriate small form-factor pluggable model for your application.

What is an SFP transceiver?

Sun, 16 May 2021 23:05:16 +0000

SFP’s are small optical module transceivers which are hot pluggable (meaning they can be plugged in and out of a system without the need for shutting it down) and are used in telecommunication and data communication applications. They offer a simple and effective way to connect a single network device to a wide variety of fiber cable types and distances, by converting the serial electrical signals to serial optical signals and vice versa.

Due to their more compact size, SFP’s have replaced gigabit interface converters (GBIC’s) in most modern applications (because of this they are sometimes referred to as “mini-GBIC’s”. By selecting the appropriate SFP module, the same electrical port on the network switch can connect to fibers of different types (multimode or singlemode) and different wavelengths.
