NOTE
eSFP optical modules are further classified into single-fiber bidirectional modules and dual-fiber
bidirectional modules.
l A single-fiber bidirectional module provides only one LC interface for connecting to one fiber. It
receives and sends optical signals in one fiber but over two different wavelengths.
l A dual-fiber bidirectional module provides two LC interfaces for connecting to two fibers. It receives
and sends optical signals in two different fibers.

Application
An optical or electrical module can be used at an optical interface if its packaging and service
rate can match the interface.
Packaging:
l SFP optical interfaces use SFP/eSFP optical or electrical modules.
l XFP optical interfaces use XFP optical modules.
Service rate:
l FE and STM-1 optical interfaces match FE optical or electrical modules.
l GE optical interfaces match GE optical or electrical modules.
l FE/GE optical interfaces match FE/GE optical or electrical modules.
