Gigabit SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) Optical Transceivers
The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) is a compact optical transceiver used in optical
communications for both telecommunication and data communications applications. Due
to its compact, hot pluggable characteristics, SFPs are becoming a very popular choice
for various applications. The small-chassis Magnum 6K is designed for industry-standard
Gb-SFPs and Gb-SFPCU (copper) for user selection of the SFP gigabit media type as
desired.
All SFPs used in Magnum 6Ks are compliant with the industry standard Multi-Source
Agreement (MSA) ensuring compatibility with a wide range of networking kit.
