Huawei 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 Types

• SFP (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 .
• XFP: 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 .
• CFP (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 .
• CSFP: 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 Features

• Hot-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 .
