Unlike their pluggable cousins, SFF modules are designed to be permanently soldered onto a host board (PCB). This fixed-design approach makes them the invisible engine powering a massive range of network equipment you use every day. It's the most common point of confusion. The transceiver consists of three sections: a FP laser transmitter, a PIN photodiode integrated with a trans-impedance preamplifier. SFF (Small Form Factor) is a small-package optical transceiver, usually with a 2×5 or 2×10 pinout, typically operating at speeds under 1250 Mbps and using an LC interface. In addition, the Small Form Factor (SFF) Transceiver Multi-source Agreement (MSA) was established to define the package. This document provides a cross reference between the names of connectors and pluggable modules and the SFF specifications which define them.
