The enhanced small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) is an enhanced version of the small form-factor pluggable transceiver. It supports data rates up to 10 Gbit. The SFP+ was standardized in July 2009.[1] SFP+ supports 8 Gbit Fibre Channel, 10GbE, and OTU2. It is a popular industry format supported by many network component vendors.[2]

Implementation

In comparison to Xenpak, X2 (Cisco) or XFP type of modules, SFP+ modules leave some of the circuitry to be implemented on the host board instead of inside the module.[3]
