The installation of a SFP+ transceiver is quite simple. However it is highly advisable to read the installation manual in order to familiarize with the module and follow the various tips regarding the installation of the module. SFP+ transceivers come with different characteristics and they can use four different latching mechanisms:

The price of fiber optic Transceivers such as, SFP, SFP+, XFP, QSFP, and CFP keeps on going up over the time. But the price of the Transceivers is higher than it should thru upcharges, when obtained from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) such as Juniper, HP or Cisco. Over all there are some benefits to implementing a single vendor network. However savings, from acquiring aftermarket Transceivers, exceeds the economic value of vendor similarity, when having the huge pricing difference in fiber optic Transceiver cost between OEMs and many 3rd party. This is the reason that many network operators have been shifting to 3rd party Transceivers from last few years.

In the world of optical networks there are a lot of optical transceivers existing. They are a crucial part of the network as they are the ones in charge of the signal conversion and transmitting. There are some different form factors for 10 Gigabit transmissions, like SFP+, XFP, X2 and XENPAK - among them the LRM variant represents a special type of transceiver.

Bei der Planung und Wartung eines optischen Netzwerks ist es entscheidend, die verschiedenen Merkmale und Eigenschaften der Netzwerkkomponenten zu kennen. Bei der Auswahl des geeigneten Equipments für ein bestimmtes Projekt ist es wichtig, alle möglichen Optionen zu berücksichtigen. Zum Beispiel ist die Auswahl der richtigen Kabel für die Netzwerke bei Kupferkabeln und optischen Kabeln sehr unterschiedlich. Dies ist auf ihre unterschiedlichen Herstellungsprozesse, ihre Funktionsweisen und Eigenschaften zurückzuführen.
