SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable)
Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) is a compact, modular transceiver used in networking and telecommunications. It enables flexible connections between devices, like switches and routers, by allowing users to easily add or change types of network cables (like fiber optic or copper) without replacing the entire device. SFPs enhance network performance and scalability by supporting different speeds and distances. Essentially, they make networking more adaptable and efficient, allowing for easy upgrades and maintenance in various communication setups.
