Types of Transceivers We Carry

iTech Devices stocks all major transceiver types in Dubai and across the UAE. Here is a simple breakdown of what we carry and what each one is used for.

SFP Modules – 1 Gigabit

SFP is the most basic and affordable transceiver type. It runs at 1Gbps and is used in small to medium business networks. It comes in two versions. The copper RJ45 version uses a normal ethernet cable and works up to 100 meters. The fiber version comes in SX for short distances up to 550 meters and LX for longer distances up to 10 kilometers. It works with Cisco, Ubiquiti, D-Link, HPE, and Aruba switches.

SFP+ Modules – 10 Gigabit

SFP+ looks the same as SFP but runs ten times faster at 10Gbps. It is the most popular choice for enterprise networks and data center uplinks. The SR version works up to 300 meters on multimode fiber. The LR version works up to 10 kilometers on single-mode fiber. For even longer distances, the ER version goes up to 40 kilometers and the ZR version goes up to 80 kilometers.

QSFP+ Modules – 40 Gigabit

QSFP+ runs at 40Gbps and is used in data centers that need high-speed connections between core switches and servers. It is bigger than SFP+ and uses four 10G channels together to reach 40G speeds. It is available in short-range multimode fiber and long-range single-mode fiber versions.

QSFP28 Modules – 100 Gigabit

QSFP28 is the fastest transceiver we carry, running at 100Gbps. It is used in large data centers and high-speed enterprise networks. It uses four 25G channels combined into one module. It is available for short-range, long-range, and extended-range fiber connections.

Copper RJ45 Transceivers

These transceivers use a normal ethernet cable instead of fiber. They are a budget-friendly option when fiber is not available. The 1G version covers up to 100 meters and the 10G version covers up to 30 meters. They are a good fit for short connections inside an office or server room.

Fiber Optic Transceivers

Fiber optic transceivers send data using light over a fiber cable. They are faster, more reliable, and cover much longer distances than copper. Multimode fiber works best for short distances inside buildings. Single-mode fiber is the right choice for long-distance links between buildings, campuses, or across the city.

Optical and Network Transceivers

In enterprise setups, Optical Transceivers are widely used because they support long distances and high bandwidth. These modules are a core part of fiber optic connectivity solutions and are designed for both small networks and large data centers.

They come in different formats and speeds, such as SFP Transceivers, SFP+ Transceivers, and QSFP Transceivers, allowing easy upgrades without changing the whole system. This makes them ideal for scalable network infrastructure and growing businesses.

Network Transceivers for Switches

In most offices and data centers, Network Transceivers are used inside switches and routers. They act as switch and router transceivers, connecting different devices over fiber or Ethernet.

Some common features include:

• Support for Ethernet Transceivers
• Designed for low-latency optical transceivers
• Suitable for high-bandwidth network modules

Fiber Optic Transceivers

For long-distance communication, Fiber Optic Transceivers are the best choice. They support both Single Mode Transceivers and Multi-Mode Transceivers, depending on distance and environment.

They are often used for:

• Long-distance fiber transmission
• Reliable fiber networking solutions
• Enterprise-grade transceivers in data centers

Server Network Transceivers

In server environments, Server Network Transceivers connect servers directly to storage systems and core switches. They are a major part of data center network components and support heavy workloads.

Key benefits include:

• Better performance for Data Center Transceivers
• Support for compatible transceivers UAE
• Stable connections for 24/7 operations

FAQ's

How much do transceivers cost in UAE?

Basic 1G SFP modules start from around AED 120 to AED 200. 10G SFP+ modules range from AED 350 to AED 1,200. High-speed 40G and 100G modules can cost between AED 1,200 and AED 6,000 or more depending on the brand and distance rating. Contact iTech Devices for exact pricing.

How much does an SFP module cost in Dubai?

A standard 1G SFP module in Dubai costs between AED 120 and AED 350 depending on the type, brand, and whether it is an OEM or compatible module. Third-party compatible SFP modules offer the same performance at a lower price point.

What types of transceivers are available?

The main types are SFP (1G), SFP+ (10G), SFP28 (25G), QSFP+ (40G), and QSFP28 (100G). Each comes in fiber optic or copper RJ45 versions. Fiber types include short-range (SR), long-range (LR), extended range (ER), and long-haul (ZR).

What is the difference between SFP, SFP+, QSFP, and QSFP28?

SFP runs at 1Gbps. SFP+ runs at 10Gbps. QSFP+ runs at 40Gbps. QSFP28 runs at 100Gbps. The form factor of SFP and SFP+ is the same size, while QSFP modules are larger. Always match the module type to your switch port specification.

Which transceiver is compatible with Cisco switches?

Cisco switches support genuine Cisco SFP modules as well as compatible third-party modules. Common Cisco-compatible modules include GLC-SX-MMD, GLC-LH-SMD, SFP-10G-SR, and SFP-10G-LR. iTech Devices can confirm compatibility with your specific Cisco switch model.

What is the difference between single-mode and multi-mode transceivers?

Multi-mode transceivers use an 850nm laser and work over short distances inside buildings, up to 550 meters. Single-mode transceivers use a 1310nm or 1550nm laser and cover long distances, from 10km up to 80km or more. Multi-mode is cheaper for short links. Single-mode is the right choice for long-distance fiber connections.

Which transceiver do I need for 1G, 10G, 40G, or 100G networks?

For 1G, use SFP. For 10G, use SFP+. For 40G, use QSFP+. For 100G, use QSFP28. The port on your switch will always indicate which module type it accepts. If you are unsure, send us your switch model number and we will recommend the correct module.
