It is an enhanced version of the traditional SFP module, supporting data rates up to 10.7 Gbps. It uses <strong>LC fiber connectors<\/strong> or <strong>direct attach copper (DAC)<\/strong> cables for short-distance connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#x1f4cc; <strong>SFP \u2260 SFP+<\/strong>: While they look similar, standard SFPs only support up to 1G.
