OEMfibers Copper SFP transceiver vs Optical SFP transceiver
Operating Temperature
For the typical fiber SFP and copper SFP, there is absolutely no difference for the operating temperature - they support 0 to 70°C (32 to 158°F) case temperature as default. Actually, there is even more heat dissipated for optical or electrical transmission in the precise applications. Generally, the copper SFPs run much hotter compared to the fiber SFPs. There are two factors that affect the temperature: power consumption and the case surface. The normal power consumption of fiber SFPs is 0.8W, the copper SFP is 1.05w, that’s why copper SFP have an increased case temperature. In the same environment, the fiber SFP runs at 40°C (104°F) as the copper SFP should run around 52°C (126°F).
Distance
As stated above, copper SFP supports the max cable distance is 100m, so that it is often used to interconnect between switches and servers in horizontal and shorter-length backbone applications. As the fiber SFP allows the transmission distance up to 120km, which demonstrate the powerful over longer distances.
Security
When security could possibly be regarded as a problem in the bond, using Cisco GLC-EX-SMD is preferable to RJ45 copper SFP module. Because fiber doesn’t conduct electricity that means it is resistant to lightning strikes.
Cost
Copper SFP transceiver might be more costly than fiber SFP module in the same short distance. In Gigabit Ethernet applications, when copper SFP is used in mixture with cooper cables in a nutshell runs, it really is less expensive as the copper cables are more cheaper than fiber cables. Besides, with the boom of third-party vendors, their full-compatible and reliable fiber SFP modules are developed to aid less expensive fiber runs. The purchase price gap between 100m copper transceiver and 40km 1000BASE-EX SFP transceiver can be reduced. More choices are given for customers to meet up their specific demands.Know more:www.oemfibers.com
