How to choose SFP transceiver for fiber optical cable

The SFP transceiver will determine which kind of fiber optical cable you need. There is a single mode and multiple mode fiber optical cable. It needs a different SFP transceiver to work with those cables. The speed is another thing to consider. The SFP slot and SFP transceiver will not automatically downgrade to adapt to the speed, unlink network port, you can put 1000mbps speed port to work with 100mbps devices. You must select the match speed transceiver for your switch or converter. The LC is a popular connector because of its compact size. The working temperature also could be ignored especially while the switch or converter will be deployed outside.

I'm trying to learn about fiber optics. Your explanations were very clear and helpful. Thank you

[ashwathamohan]

Very well explained... Thank u✌
You just earned a follower

[TheDustyrose]

Finally! Thanks for the well explained video!

[milesraymond]

Can you elaborate more on the differences between all the options and compatibility between cable and module. Do modules need to be in a send/receive pair or a module can send/receive to the same kind of module?

How to verify on-site if the SFP transceiver is working well post-install check and System integration test

My ISP's router has a single fiber optic line and the ONT line port says SPF+ 10GB. I am assuming that the media converter I need is the SFP+ transceiver. I want to be able to connect the fiber optic line directly to a TP-Link XE-75 PRO. By cloning the MAC address of the router, I should be able to use my DECO-XE75 PRO correct? The ISP's router is ADTRAN and the ISP has locked down the admin page. I want to return the ISP's router and use if possible my TP-Link XE-75 PRO so that I have more control over advanced settings.

Thank you for the informative video !
Do SFP modules support both UPC and APC fiber ? I'm asking because no SFP specification, that I came across, mentions this.
Thanks

[Huduism]

Are the connectors compatible with all the SFP modules or you need a specific connector for a module

[demarcorr]

Just out of curiosity, why do you only plug in 1 strand into the SFP, and leave the other strand loose? Wouldn't that make the connection a simplex/1-way connection?

For example, if I was connecting an antenna to a router with 2 strand os2 singlemode cable, with a transceiver on the antenna and the router, should both strands be plugged into the Tx/Rx ports accordingly? (i.e. the Tx port from the antenna side goes into the Rx port of the router side and vice versa?)

Im still new to this and trying to figure it out, thanks for the videos though, short and simple.

Why does sfp transceivers usually stop working? Is it possible that from lighting?

[weeragardens]

Hi Thanks for the very informative video.
I want to use media converter to isolate my audio equipment from electrical noise. With the TP link MC220L which SFP module and fibre cable should be used? I live in Australia. Thanks.

G-240W-B
hi i have a quick question can i use the fiber port of G-240W-B router to make the router access point from the main router i mean by useing fiber cable between the tow router?

[manzarabbasi]

Hello dear,
I want to use fiber link between Cisco POE gigabit switch to router. So which "Cable, SFP & media converter I have to use.?

[simhans]

Don't fiber optic cables come with a pair of 2 cables, Tx and Rx? So how does this work with Bi-di transceivers?

[AinzOoalGwn]

what about sfp+ dacs? i heard those are cheaper to connect from 1 switch to another within the same rack.

also that multi mode is cheaper than single mode ya?

and also sfp+ copper uses the most power and also gets hot. e.g. some switches can only handle up to 4 sfp+ copper transceivers tops.

probly some stuff out of scope of this video subject but thought i'd mention them.

[tompdiaz]

Can multimode SFP s work on either OM1 (62.5/125) or OM3 (50/125) ? Is there anything spec to look for there?

[barygol]

Is there use for a SFP transceiver for a 2.5G home betwork? I'm going to do a total renovation of my home and I was thinking of cabling the home with Eth cat.7 cable which is capable of 10G. Any need for SFP+/fiber?

[michaelifenojo]

Pls I need your advice on delay in loading one of 3 NVR

[premanandapradhan]

which is better ?single mode or multimode fiber sfp .plz reply.

Hi i have a question,
is fiber still supported when i have two different switches?

For example one switch is a Cisco and the other one is a Dell or a Media Converter?
