SFP, SFP+ modules and Fiber Optic Cable runs – The time to use them is now

In this video, second in our video playlist oriented to high performance networks, our very simple explanation of what you must know about SFP modules (small form-factor Pluggable).

Mainly oriented to its use in local area networks of small and medium sized companies (some may want to have it in their homes), mainly due to its great versatility and the boom that has started not so long ago.

This video is also for those users who want to get started not only in this technology of SFPs and fiber optic in their networks, but also in the Unifi “aggregation switches”, that allow to concentrate the traffic of robust or simply very demanding networks. All this due to the high traffic originated by the increasingly growing multimedia files.

We invite you to visit our Amazon store where you will find a very interesting collection of Hardware for networks as well as all kinds of interesting hardware for home and education in categories that very well describe them.

We also invite you to share what you know, which is the heart of what we do. Thanks for watching our videos.

Outstanding post. As a cinematographer and video editor I'm increasingly working with massive pools of data. 4TB per project on average. The technology you've shown looks very promising. Thank you!

SFP+ that are 10Gbe, can they run at 5Gbe? Also, how do I tell if I can use DAC over fiber?

I have and TB3 to SFP+ adapter and I am looking to get a SFP+ pcie card for my pc so I Can I use SFP+ to connect one macbook and one Pc. Would that work?I just want to have some shared folders between the computers. Do I Need external Nas for that?

Are there ways to convert an RJ45 socket to SFP+ fiber?

I live in Toronto Canada. I want to connect bell fiber cable straight to UDM Pro. Is that possible?

Is ubiquity Edgeswitch compatible with Cisco SFP modules ?

[TheJulianJES]

Just wondering, do you actually get 10 gigabit over the flat ethernet cables?
If so, what length are they?

11:27 Why transfer speed is so low on a 10Gb SFP+?

[AshuGupta_krazzyMobile]

if i use 1310nm/10KM/1.25g dual fiber sfp @ one side
and
1550/40KM/1.25g dual fiber sfp @ other side
will it compatible or will it work ?
My inbetween total distance is 8 KM

Note:
CAT6 is only capable of 1gibt
CAT6A is UP TO 10Gbit ☝️🤫

You're out of date. Sfp+ switches are about 300 bucks with 8 ports and 10Gb sfp+ modules are around 50 bucks for fiber or copper media. You could bring a home or small business up to 10gb for under 500 bucks pretty easily. 2.5Gb might have been attractive a decade ago but that time has long since passed. I think anyone serious about a small network is looking for upgrades to 40 or 100Gbps these days.
