Optical Module Classification and introduction

First, Cisco Manufacturers

1. Multimode Optical Module

Model: GLC-SX-MM

Description: SFP,1000BASE-SX Gigabit module, 850 nm, multimode 550 m

2. Interacting Module

Model: GLC-LH-SM

Description: SFP,1000BASE-LX Gigabit Module, 1310 nm, single mode 10KM

Second, Manufacturers

1. Multimode Optical Module

Model: esfp-850nm-1000base-sx/fc200 MM

Description: Optical Transceiver Module (ESFP,850NM,2.125GB/S multi-rate, -9.5DBM~-2.5DBM,-17DBM,LC, multimode, 0.5km)

2, Interacting module 10km

Model: ESFP-1310NM-1000BASE-LX SM

Description: Optical Transceiver Module-esfp-1310nm-1.25gb/s--9dbm--3dbm--20dbm-lc-Singlemode -10km

3, Interacting module 40km

Model: ESFP-1310NM-1000BASE-ZX

Description: Optical Transceiver Module-esfp-1310nm-1.25gb/s--5dbm-0dbm--23dbm-lc-Singlemode -40km

Identifies SM as Singlemode and MM as multimode.

The difference between Singlemode and multimode

General manufacturers will be in the color of the pull ring to distinguish, for example: Black pull ring for multimode, Wavelength is 850nm, blue is the wavelength of 1310nm module, yellow is the wavelength 1550nm module, purple is the wavelength 1490nm module.

Optical Module Classification

XFP Optical Module

Selectable wavelength: 850NM,1310NM,1270NM,1330NM,CWDM,DWDM

Rate: 10G

XFP (Gigabit Small Form Factor pluggable) is a hot-swappable optical transceiver independent of the communication protocol for 10G BPS Ethernet, SONET/SDH, and Fibre Channel.

SFP Optical Module

Selectable wavelength: 850NM,1310NM,1490NM,1550NM,CWDM,DWDM

Rate: 0-10g

DDM: Optional

Small pluggable Light emitting module (SFP), currently the most widely used.

SFP RJ45 Electric Port module

Interface: Rj45,copper

Rate: 10/100/1000m adaptive, Force 1000M

DDM: Optional

RJ45 Electric Port Small pluggable module, also known as electric module or electric port module.

GBIC Optical Modules

Selectable wavelength: 850NM,1310NM,1490NM,1550NM,CWDM,DWDM

Rate: 1.25G

GBIC RJ45 Electric Port module

Interface: Rj45,copper

Rate: 10/100/1000m adaptive, Force 1000M

SFP + optical Modules

Selectable wavelength: 850NM,1310NM,1270NM,1330NM,CWDM,DWDM

Rate: 10G

Gigacbidi Series single Fiber bidirectional optical module utilizes WDM technology to achieve a two-way transmission of fiber-to-point transmission. In particular, the fiber resources are insufficient, need 1 fiber transmission bidirectional signal. Gigacbidi includes SFP single fiber bidirectional (BiDi), gbic single fiber bidirectional (BiDi), SFP + single fiber bidirectional (BiDi), XFP single fiber bidirectional (BiDi), SFF single fiber bidirectional (BiDi) and so on.

X2 Optical Module

Selectable wavelength: 850NM,1310NM,1270NM,1330NM,CWDM,DWDM

Rate: 10G

Xenpak Optical Module

Selectable wavelength: 850NM,1310NM,1270NM,1330NM,CWDM,DWDM

Rate: 10G
