Introduction to SFP-8472

With the rapid development of network, the SFP optical module has become an indispensable part of the network system. So how much do you know about the SFP protocol? Today let me give you a brief introduction to the SFP-8472 protocol.

Sff-8472 is a multi-source protocol for digital monitoring of optical devices developed by the SFF Committee, an industry body. The protocol was originally set up to define the shape of the new disk drive for portable computers, and the first version was released in 2001.

The main advantage of the SFF-8472 protocol is that it defines a reference framework for optical module manufacturers and network equipment manufacturers, so that products produced by different optical module manufacturers and network equipment manufacturers have seamless interoperability, and that OAM parameters can be shared across the optical communications industry. In addition, the SFF-8472 protocol also regulates important parameters of optical modules and switches. The following table lists some parameter standards for optical modules formulated by the SFF-8472 protocol.
