XFP to SFP+ cable have been standardized by multisource

SFP is a compact, hot-pluggable transceiver used for telecommunication and data transmission applications. Hot-pluggable means that it is able to add components to the system without interruption to the operation of the system. Due to its smaller size and lower power consumption, XFP to SFP+ cable is the most optimal solution for 10GbE. Another added benefit of SFP+ cable is its compatibility with other communications standards, such as SONET, Gigabit Ethernet, and Fibre Channel. This added benefit of XFP to SFP+ cable is a result of sharing a common physical form factor with the pervious SFP modules.Although these devices are available in copper, their most common use is to add fiber ports. Fiber options include multimode and single-mode fiber in a variety of wavelengths covering distances of up to 120 kilometers (about 75 miles), as well as WDM fiber, which uses two separate wavelengths to both send and receive data on a single fiber strand.
