The portfolio includes SFP, XFP, SFP+, QSFP, and CFP/CFP4 transceivers that are fully compliant with applicable MSA specifications and industry standards, covering SONET, Ethernet, and Fibre-Channel data rates from 100Mb/s to 400Gb/s. As data centers expand, 5G and edge networks mature, and AI workloads multiply, the small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceiver — once seen as a modest workhorse — is stepping back into the spotlight. In 2025, these compact devices are expected to deliver unprecedented performance, power. Source Photonics recently announced the general availability of 100G SFP112 product family supporting 500m to 40km distances. Optical access technology is clearly seen as the best way to achieve the bandwidth, long term OPEX, and reliability that these types of services require. The 100Gb/s QSFP28 transceiver is based on proprietary technology and has been shipping in high volume since 2016. * Target distance is a value calculated from the dispersion tolerance specifications of the DSP and it changes depending on the characteristics of a transmission line (optical fiber) and an OSNR.
