Will Pixietech SFP modules work with our Cisco, Huawei or MikroTik switches?

Compatibility depends on the specific switch model. Some vendors restrict the use of third-party modules at the software level. Our specialists will check compatibility for your equipment model before delivery and recommend a suitable option.

Which module should I choose for a 30 km line over single-mode fiber?

For 30 km, SFP WDM modules with a range of up to 80 km (power budget of 24 dB) are suitable. When calculating, it is important to take into account the real losses on the route: the number of splices, connectors and the condition of the cable. We perform the optical power budget calculation free of charge when you request a commercial proposal.

What is the difference between a WDM module and a regular SFP?

A standard SFP requires two fibers (one for transmission, one for reception). A WDM module (BiDi) uses different wavelengths for transmission and reception over a single fiber, which halves the number of cable strands used. This is especially advantageous when there is a shortage of fibers in an existing fiber-optic line.

Can I buy a single module rather than a batch?

Yes, we work with both individual requests to replace a failed transceiver and large project deliveries. Check the availability of the required item with our manager — some items are always in stock at the warehouse in Tashkent.

How much does it cost to install and configure an optical line using SFP modules?

The cost depends on the length of the route, the number of connection points and the complexity of the site. To get an accurate estimate, submit a request on the website or contact our engineers — we prepare a commercial proposal within one business day.

SFP modules & transceivers — guide & FAQ

SFP modules and transceivers are the foundation of modern optical data transmission networks. These are pluggable optical and copper interface modules that are installed in switches, routers, media converters and other active network equipment to set up high-speed communication lines. The SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) standard makes it possible to flexibly select the interface type for a specific task: multimode or single-mode fiber, copper cable, various distances — from several hundred meters to 80 km and more. SAT Solutions offers SFP modules and transceivers for purchase in Tashkent with professional consultation and a warranty.

The choice of the right module directly affects the stability and throughput of the entire network. The SFP (1G), SFP+ (10G), SFP28 (25G), QSFP+ (40G) and QSFP28 (100G) formats cover tasks from small office installations to backbone channels of data centers. In Uzbekistan, demand for optical transceivers is steadily growing alongside the development of corporate and carrier networks: integrators, internet providers and large enterprises increasingly migrate infrastructure to fiber optics, abandoning copper lines where range or high throughput is required.

Correct module selection requires taking several parameters into account simultaneously: fiber type, wavelength, optical power budget, data transmission speed and protocol compatibility with the core equipment. Purchasing on your own without an understanding of these parameters often leads to incompatibility or unstable line operation. SAT Solutions specialists will help select modules for your project — from a small office to a distributed corporate network across the entire country.

How to choose

Form factor and speed: SFP for gigabit ports, SFP+ for 10G, SFP28 for 25G, QSFP+ for 40G, QSFP28 for 100G. Make sure the slot on your equipment matches the chosen form factor.
Fiber type: multimode (OM3, OM4) is used over short distances up to 550 m, single-mode (OS2) is used for lines from 10 km and above. Types cannot be mixed without special converters.
Wavelength and range: standard 850 nm for multimode, 1310 nm and 1550 nm for single-mode. WDM modules (1310/1550 nm or BiDi) allow data to be transmitted over a single fiber in two directions, which halves the consumption of cable infrastructure.
Optical power budget (dB): the difference between the transmitter power and the receiver sensitivity must cover the losses on the route with a margin of at least 3 dB. Clarify this parameter when choosing modules for long distances.
