Small Form-factor
Pluggable Transceiver
IDU-C SFP Support
The Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver, is a compact, hot-pluggable transceiver
used in communications applications.
The SFP transceiver technology allows almost any protocol converter implementation with
seamless integration to a standard Ethernet switch.
The IDU-C supports SFP transceivers to provide and support several network applications.
Any standard Fast Ethernet (FE) SFP transceiver can be plugged into the IDU-C. These SFPs
support various Ethernet interfaces. For example a fibre optic interface can be used to sup-
port long fibre distances.
In addition, System on SFP transceivers can be used, supporting a
protocol converter
con-
cept. The main application for such SFP transceivers is
TDM over Ethernet
providing E1/T1
or E3/T3 over full duplex Ethernet Remote Bridge
The following table provides a few SFP types that can be used with the IDU-C:
