The main application scenarios of 10G optical modules are roughly the following:
The 10G SFP+ optical module currently on the market has the following advantages:
As a low-cost, high-coverage, and highly mature network communication component, 10G optical modules are widely used in various network transmission environments. Whether it is industrial production, corporate office networks, video surveillance networks, or optical transmission networks of telecom operators, 10G optical modules are more or less indispensable. It is an optical transceiver component with a rate of 10Gbps. Common packaging types on the market include SFP+, XFP, X2, XENPAK, etc. With the development of the market and the iteration of technology, SFP+ has gradually eliminated other packaging methods and become the mainstream of the market due to its small size, low power consumption, and obvious cost advantages. There are many different types of SFP+ packaged modules. For example, there are single-mode and multi-mode according to different transmission media, CWDM and DWDM according to different wavelengths, and simplex and duplex according to the number of optical fibers used. In use, you can choose according to different needs to meet the needs of different distances and application scenarios.
In the production network, the communication needs between front-line equipment do not require a large bandwidth of 10G, usually gigabit optical modules or direct network cables. 10G modules are mainly used in communication trunk lines to transmit the overall communication traffic, avoid shutdowns and production cuts caused by network congestion, and construct a highly stable production communication network.
Modern large-scale enterprise networks have increasing requirements for bandwidth, which poses challenges to the reliability and stability of the network. 10G optical modules are widely used in enterprise core switches, campus networks and data center interconnection. Through 10G optical modules, enterprises can build efficient and stable network infrastructure to meet the needs of high-definition video conferencing, remote office, large database access, etc.
In the telecommunications field, 10G optical modules are widely used in metropolitan area networks, backbone networks, base station backhaul and other scenarios. For example, in the 5G era, fronthaul and backhaul networks have higher requirements for high-speed transmission. As an important transmission device, 10G optical modules help operators improve network carrying capacity.
With the popularity of high-definition monitoring, the amount of video monitoring data has increased significantly, and traditional gigabit networks are difficult to meet the data transmission needs of high-resolution cameras. The 10G optical module can be used between the core switch and storage device of the security monitoring system with 10 times the high bandwidth to achieve high-bandwidth, low-latency and stable transmission.
High-speed transmission: Ten times the bandwidth of the gigabit network, meeting the high throughput requirements.
Low power consumption: Compared with the early XFP, X2 and other packages, SFP+ has lower power consumption, smaller space, more reasonable heat dissipation layout, and is suitable for high-density deployment.
Flexible and compatible: Supports multiple protocols (such as Ethernet, Fibre Channel, SONET/SDH) to adapt to different network requirements.
Hot plug-in: Supports hot plug-in with power on, which is convenient for network deployment and operation and maintenance
At present, in the optical communication market, 10G optical modules have been widely used in data centers, enterprise networks, telecom operators, security monitoring and other fields with their advantages of high bandwidth, low power consumption and high compatibility. With the continuous development of network technology, 10G optical modules will continue to play an important role in the future, providing strong support for the digital transformation of various industries. They will not be eliminated in a short time, but with the iteration of technology, 10G optical modules will gradually withdraw from the market, and they may be replaced by higher-speed 100G optical modules. We will witness the arrival of this day.
