Cisco is famous for their networking equipment. Such as Optical Networking，Cisco router, Cisco switch, and more. And here, we gathered some hot Cisco SFP transceivers for all.

SFP transceivers are capable of supporting SONET, Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and several other communications standards. In the near future, it is going to expand to SFP+ .Then, data rates of 10 Gbits/s will be possible, including 8 gigabit Fire Channel. SFP+ modules have some of their circuitry on the outside, as compared to Xenpak or XFP type modules which have everything inside. There is a great variety of SFP transceivers available each with different transmitter or receivers. This allows the user to configure and customize the transceiver to get the proper optical reach with either multi-mode fiber or single-node optic fiber type.

There are four categories of optical SFP modules: SX, which is 850nm, LX, which is 1310 nm, ZX, which is 1550 nm and DWDM. They all have an interface of copper cable, which allows a host device to communicate via USTP (unshielded twisted-pair) network cable. CWDM and single-optic cables also exist, and they are 1310/1490 up upstream and downstream.
