SFP vs SFP+ vs QSFP vs QSFP28: 7 Critical Differences & 100G Upgrade Guide

SFP vs SFP+ vs QSFP vs QSFP28: The key difference is speed and lane count (1G/10G/25G vs 40G/100G). SFP is 1G, SFP+ is 10G, SFP28 is 25G (all 1 lane). QSFP+ is 4x10G, QSFP28 is 4x25G (4 lanes).

What is Automatic Power Reduction (APR) and How Does It Ensure Laser Safety?

Automatic Power Reduction (APR) is a safety mechanism in fiber optic transceivers that rapidly reduces laser power to eye-safe levels (Class 1) when a physical link failure is detected, ensuring compliance with IEC 60825-2.
