Main uses of 1.25G SFP series

1.25G SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) is an optical fiber module that is miniaturized and pluggable and is widely used in the field of network communications. Its main uses cover many aspects, including network connections, data center interconnections, server connections, and storage networks.

Network connectivity: 1.25G SFP modules are widely used to connect fiber optic links between switches. In enterprise networks, data centers or telecom operator networks, switches play a core role and are responsible for data forwarding and distribution. The 1.25G SFP module can be inserted into the SFP slot of the switch and connects different switches through optical fibers to realize data transmission between local area networks (LAN) or wide area networks (WAN). Routers are also one of the important devices in the network, used to implement data routing and forwarding between different networks. The 1.25G SFP module can be used to connect to routers and build high-speed network links. Through the 1.25G SFP module, the router can be connected to switches, firewalls or other network devices to achieve connection and communication between different networks, while supporting the transmission of large-capacity data traffic. In enterprise networks and data centers, servers are key devices that host applications and store data. The 1.25G SFP module can be used to connect servers to achieve high-speed data transmission between servers and between servers and network devices. Through the 1.25G SFP module, high-speed inter-server links can be established to support fast data exchange and sharing, improving data processing and application performance.

Data center interconnection: A large number of servers are usually deployed inside data centers, and these servers need to communicate with each other to perform various computing tasks. 1.25G SFP modules can be used to connect servers and build high-speed inter-server links. Through these modules, fast and reliable data transmission can be carried out between servers, supporting large-scale parallel computing and distributed applications. Various network devices in the data center, such as switches, routers, firewalls, etc., also need to connect and communicate. 1.25G SFP modules can be used to connect these network devices to build high-performance network infrastructure. Through these modules, fast data exchange and routing can be achieved between network devices, supporting traffic management and optimization within the data center. In addition to connections within the data center, 1.25G SFP modules can also be used to connect different data centers to realize data center interconnection. In cross-region or cross-data center scenarios, optical fiber links established through 1.25G SFP modules can support high-speed data transmission and realize interoperability and resource sharing between data centers. This interconnection method can improve the flexibility and scalability of the data center and support cross-regional application deployment and disaster recovery backup.

Server connection: 1.25G SFP modules are also widely used to connect servers, supporting high-speed data transmission between servers and between servers and network devices. In large enterprise networks and data centers, there are a huge number of servers, and the speed of communication between servers is critical to data processing and application performance. Through the 1.25G SFP module, high-speed and reliable connections between servers can be established to realize rapid exchange and sharing of data and improve the performance and efficiency of the entire network.

Storage network: 1.25G SFP modules also play an important role in storage networks. They can connect to storage devices and support storage network protocols such as Fiber Channel or Ethernet Storage. Through the 1.25G SFP module, storage devices can perform high-speed data transmission with network devices to realize the sharing and management of storage resources, thereby meeting the requirements for storage performance and reliability in different application scenarios.
