    Differences Between SFP-1G-SR and SFP-10G-SR

  • Learning Center    release time:2025-05-15
  • The main differences between SFP-1G-SR and SFP-10G-SR transceivers lie in their data rates and applications

    1. Data Rate

    SFP-1G-SR: Supports a data rate of up to 1 Gbps (Gigabits per second).

    SFP-10G-SR: Supports a data rate of up to 10 Gbps, which is ten times faster than SFP-1G-SR.


    2. Compatibility

    SFP-1G-SR: Typically used for 1 Gigabit Ethernet applications, including lower-speed fiber optic networks and connections.

    SFP-10G-SR: Designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications, suitable for higher-speed networks and connections requiring greater bandwidth.


    3. Fiber Type and Distance

    Both transceivers commonly use multimode fiber (MMF) for short distances within data centers or local area networks (LANs).

    SFP-1G-SR generally supports shorter distances compared to SFP-10G-SR due to the lower data rate.


    4. Physical Form Factor

    Both SFP-1G-SR and SFP-10G-SR transceivers share the same physical form factor, known as Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP), which allows them to be used interchangeably in SFP ports that support their respective data rates.


    5. Application

    SFP-1G-SR is commonly used in older or legacy network equipment that supports 1 Gbps Ethernet.

    SFP-10G-SR is used in modern high-speed networks where 10 Gbps Ethernet is required for faster data transmission.
