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: 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
