SFP Module
SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) modules are compact, hot-swappable devices that connect network hardware, such as switches and routers, to fiber optic or copper cables. At RapidBTS, we sell a variety of high-quality fiber SFP modules that ensure seamless and efficient data transmission. Whether you’re in Lagos, Abuja, or Abeokuta, our products provide reliable connectivity for businesses of all sizes.
Choosing the Right Module for Your Needs
Single-mode vs. Multi-mode Compatibility
One of the most important decisions when selecting an SFP module is choosing between single-mode and multi-mode fiber compatibility. Single-mode modules are optimized for long-distance transmissions, ideal for connecting campuses, data centers, or large office complexes. On the other hand, multi-mode SFPs work best for short-range connectivity and cost-conscious deployments within a single building.
At RapidBTS, our experts can help you choose the correct SFP fiber solution based on your infrastructure and performance needs. Whether you require LC or SC connectors, duplex or simplex configurations, or specific wavelength compatibility, we have the inventory and expertise to deliver the right fit.
Performance Without Compromise
Speed is a cornerstone of network performance. That’s why we stock both standard 1G SFP modules and advanced SFP+ options that deliver up to 10Gbps of data throughput. These modules are engineered to support high-bandwidth operations like video streaming, cloud computing, and VoIP — all while maintaining low latency and high signal integrity.
The reliability of your network can directly impact your productivity and customer satisfaction. RapidBTS provides fiber solutions that meet or exceed international standards, ensuring long-term stability even in high-demand environments.
FAQs About SFP Transceivers
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.
