Types of SFP Modules
We offer a wide range of SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) modules to suit your networking needs. Let’s break down the main types in simple terms:Single-mode vs. Multi-mode
Imagine you’re shining a flashlight. Single-mode SFP modules are like a focused beam that goes really far, while multi-mode modules are like a wider beam that doesn’t go as far but covers more area nearby.Type | Distance | Best For |
---|---|---|
Single-mode | Long (up to 160 km) | Connecting buildings or cities |
Multi-mode | Short (up to 550 m) | Within a building or campus |
Different Form Factors
Think of form factors like different sizes of LEGO blocks. They all do similar things, but some are bigger and more powerful.Speed Options
RapidBTS offers SFP modules with various speeds to match your network needs:What should you consider?
Compatibility
Make sure the SFP module works with your current equipment. It’s like making sure puzzle pieces fit together.Transmission Distance
How far do you need your data to travel?Distance Needed | Recommended Type |

Small Form-factor Pluggable FAQ’s
What is the difference between SFP and fiber converter?
An SFP is a compact, hot-swappable module that connects switches and routers to fiber optic or copper cables. A fiber converter converts electrical signals into optical signals (and vice versa) to connect copper-based networks to fiber optic networks. SFPs are used within compatible equipment, while fiber converters are standalone devices bridging different types of networks.
How many SFP modules do I need?
The number of SFP modules you need depends on how many devices you are connecting. Typically, you'll need two SFP modules for a point-to-point connection (one at each end of the cable), but this can vary based on your network setup.
Is SFP faster than RJ45?
SFP modules are typically used for high-speed fiber connections and can support speeds up to 100Gbps, while RJ45 connectors are used for copper connections, usually maxing out at 10Gbps (with Cat6a cables). So, SFP can be faster than RJ45, especially over long distances.
What is the maximum distance for SFP?
The maximum distance for SFP modules varies by type. Single-mode SFPs can reach up to 100 km, while multimode SFPs are usually limited to around 550 meters.
