In Fiberstore,we supply the Cisco Transceiver including about XFP, SFP+, SFP ,X2 ,XENPAK, GBIC and so on.Next, I simply introduce their information with Cisco SFP+ VS Cisco XENPAK.




Cisco SFP+:


Cisco SFP+ or SFP plus transceivers are used for high speed 10Gigabit Ethernet, linking the equipment to fiber optic networks. This products include active SFP+ cables and SFP+ transceivers. There is also copper SFP+ available from Cisco. SFP+ is by far the smallest size 10G transceiver; it is much lighter weight and lower power consumption compared with former 10G transceivers X2 and XENPAK. The Cisco 10GBASE SFP+ modules offer customers a wide variety of 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity options for data center, enterprise wiring closet, and service provider transport applications.SFP+ module is a next-generation transceiver module specified by the ANSI T11 Group for 8.5 Gbps and 10Gbps Fiber Channel and Ethernet applications.


Cisco XENPAK:


Cisco Xenpak is one of the Cisco 10Gbps fiber optic transceiver modules, it is developed based on the Xenpak Multi-source Agreement (MSA) which was instigated by Agilent Technologies and Agere Systems. Cisco Xenpak is fully compatible with the IEEE 802.3ae standards for 10G Ethernet as required by Xenpak MSA. Cisco Xenpak dimension is same at 121 x 36 x 18 mm (the biggest in 10G fiber transceiver modules); these modules typically weigh less than 300g and with dual SC fiber interface.Cisco compatible XENPAK transceiver support Ethernet, Sonnet/SDH and Fiber Channel applications across all Cisco switching and routing platforms. FiberStore offers cost-effective standards-based Cisco Compatible XENPAK Transceivers.
