Huawei Common Optical Module Models

Huawei offers a wide range of optical modules including SFP, SFP+, QSFP+, QSFP28, CFP, XFP, and eSFP, supporting transmission rates from 100M to 800GE for various networking scenarios. Common Huawei Optical Module TypesSFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable): Supports Gigabit Ethernet (GE) and Fast Ethernet (FE) with LC fiber connectors. Ideal for standard network connections.eSFP (Enhanced SFP): Similar to SFP but includes monitoring of voltage, temperature, bias current, transmit and receive optical power.

SFP+: High-speed SFP variant supporting 10GE, compatible with LC fiber connectors. SFP28: Same interface size as SFP+, supports 25GE transmission.

XF

P: 10 Gigabit small form-factor pluggable, larger than SFP+, supports LC fiber connectors. QSFP+ (Quad SFP+): Supports 40GE, uses MPO fiber connectors, larger than SFP+. QSFP28: Same interface as QSFP+, supports 100GE or 40GE depending on module type.

CF

P (Centum Form-factor Pluggable): Large module supporting high-speed data communication, dimensions 144. 75 mm x 82 mm x 13. 6 mm, used in 100GE and above.

CSF

P: Compact SFP variant for specific applications.

Transmission Rates and Applications

Huawei optical modules cover a broad range of speeds: 100M, 1GE, 10GE, 25GE, 40GE, 100GE, and up to 800GE for AI and data center networks. Modules are designed for plug-and-play deployment, supporting ultra-long transmission, high reliability, and secure operation in intelligent computing scenarios.

Certification and Compatibility

For Huawei switches, only certified optical modules ensure reliable transmission and service stability. Certification started for 10GE and lower in 2013, and for 40GE/100GE in 2016. Certified modules are labeled with "HUAWEI" and verified via commands like display transceiver.

Using non-certified modules may affect network performance and is not supported by Huawei. Key FeaturesHot-swappable: All modules can be replaced without powering down the device. Monitoring: eSFP and higher-end modules provide real-time monitoring of operational parameters.

Interface flexibility: Huawei modules support LC, MPO, and AOC cable connections. High reliability: Modules include contamination detection, channel loss resistance, and secure operation for data center interconnectivity. Huawei's optical module portfolio provides flexible solutions for enterprise, data center, and AI networking environments, ensuring compatibility across a wide range of devices and transmission requirements.
