Multimode SFP+ Fiber Optic Transceiver
A multimode SFP+ fiber optic transceiver is used for the Multi-Format MMF-D TX and the HDMI MMF-D RX.
Depending on the transceiver model, it will have a latch that is black or a black label on the latch top with white triangles
showing data flow direction.
The multimode SFP+ fiber optic transceiver requires multimode fiber optic cable, which allows numerous optical waves
to traverse the optic core. Multimode fiber optic cable has a significantly larger optical core (which results in a higher
dispersion rate) and results in comparative shorter distance optical runs than the single mode cable.
Single Mode SFP+ Fiber Optic Transceiver
A single mode SFP+ fiber optic transceiver is used for the Multi-Format SMF-D TX and the HDMI SMF-D RX.
Depending on the transceiver model, it will have a bright blue latch or a blue label on the latch top with white triangles
showing data flow direction.
The single mode SFP+ fiber optic transceiver requires single mode fiber optic cable, which allows a single optical wave
to traverse through the optic core. Single mode fiber optic cable has a significantly smaller diameter optical core than
multimode fiber optic cable and is generally associated with longer distance transport capabilities.
