    • 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.
      1. SFP: The original “standard” size
      1. SFP+: A bit more powerful, for faster connections
      1. SFP28: Even faster, for really speedy networks

    Speed Options

    RapidBTS offers SFP modules with various speeds to match your network needs:
      • 1G (1 Gigabit per second): Like a country road
      • 10G: Like a highway
      • 25G: Like a super-fast expressway

    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
    Within a room or small office Multi-mode SFP
    Between buildings Single-mode SFP
    Across a city Long-range Single-mode SFP

    Data Transfer Speed

    Think about how much data you need to move and how quickly.
    Your Need Recommended Speed
    Basic internet and email 1G SFP
    Video streaming and large file transfers 10G SFP+
    Data centers and heavy network traffic 25G SFP28

    Budget Considerations

      • Lower cost: Multi-mode SFPs for shorter distances
      • Mid-range: Standard single-mode SFPs
      • Higher cost: High-speed or long-range SFPs
    When in doubt, it’s often better to choose a slightly faster or longer-range SFP module than you think you need. This gives your network room to grow without needing immediate upgrades.

    Small Form-factor Pluggable FAQ’s

    SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) fiber module prices in Nigeria range from ₦15,000 to over ₦1,000,000, with costs varying by:

    • Transmission Speed (1Gbps, 10Gbps)
    • Transmission Distance
    • Compatibility
    • Brand Specifications

    Brand Price Tiers:

    • Budget: Grandstream, Huawei
    • Mid-Range: Ubiquiti, Mikrotik
    • High-End: Cisco

    Actual prices depend on specific module type, technical specifications, current market conditions, and dollar to naira exchange rates.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
