An optical port is a physical interface used to connect fiber optic cables. Currently, mainstream optical modules include SFP and QSFP form factors, with transmission rates ranging from 2M to 100G. Unlike fixed RJ45 copper ports, SFP ports support both fiber and copper modules, enabling far longer distances, greater flexibility, and improved scalability in enterprise. An electrical port module, also known as an optical-to-electrical port converter module, is a hot-swappable device with an SFP form factor. In addition, because the transmission distance of electrical port. The optical module serves as a crucial component in optical fiber communication systems, operating at the physical layer, which is the lowest layer in the OSI model. Its primary function is to achieve optoelectronic conversion by converting electrical signals into optical signals and vice versa.
