SFP, SFP+ modules and Fiber Optic Cable runs - The time to use them is now

Don't forget to visit our Amazon Storefront and support us! www.amazon.com/shop/momentosd...
In this video, second in our video playlist oriented to high performance networks, our very simple explanation of what you must know about SFP modules (small form-factor Pluggable).
Mainly oriented to its use in local area networks of small and medium sized companies (some may want to have it in their homes), mainly due to its great versatility and the boom that has started not so long ago.
This video is also for those users who want to get started not only in this technology of SFPs and fiber optic in their networks, but also in the Unifi “aggregation switches”, that allow to concentrate the traffic of robust or simply very demanding networks. All this due to the high traffic originated by the increasingly growing multimedia files.
We invite you to visit our Amazon store where you will find a very interesting collection of Hardware for networks as well as all kinds of interesting hardware for home and education in categories that very well describe them.
We also invite you to share what you know, which is the heart of what we do. Thanks for watching our videos.

We are now implementing 400Gb at my workplace, all Aruba 🤙

[@TechnologyMoments]

Awesome. It would be great if you'd share with us which equipment you're using and specs of the modules so everybody will learn from your experience too.

I want to change my Hiosso olt, which was 2 pounds to 4 pounds, is adding the sfp switch module any good? and what is the brand? and how many db count it detects

[@ajithkumar-ff9ye]

Amazing🎉🎉🎉

I have and TB3 to SFP+ adapter and I am looking to get a SFP+ pcie card for my pc so I Can I use SFP+ to connect one macbook and one Pc. Would that work?I just want to have some shared folders between the computers. Do I Need external Nas for that?

[@TechnologyMoments]

Hello Cristian, I can see you are heading to take advantage of 10GbE networking and that is great you will not regret it and time spent sharing files comes close to none. First of all, what you are saying is correct, however keep in mind that usually there must be a switch between the two computers, unless you connect them directly (not very common or practical). That being said you need a 10 Gbps switch and if your network is not too big and the only ones at 10gbps are those two computers you mention, I would go for the Mikrotik 10 gbps switch (amzn.to/35j399p) for which you would have to buy also some sfp+ modules, then you will be transfering files from and to each computer incredibly fast. Very important to keep in mind that all your components must be 10 gbps, this means SFP modules have to be SFP+. As for the card for your computer get a NIC with SFP+ ports. About the NAS, the same thing. If you want to store huge amounts of data, 10 gbps is the way to go and now there are more and more 2.5 gbps and 10 gbps ready NAS. Thanks for watching!

[@TheJulianJES]

Just wondering, do you actually get 10 gigabit over the flat ethernet cables? If so, what length are they?

[@TechnologyMoments]

Sorry for the delay. Incredibly yes. I do have some runs over 15 meters, coupling two of them with cat 7 keystones. I would not experience any further as eventhough the manufacturer says it complies with every little detail of cat 7... mmmm... really? I don't think so. And if you take a look at so many cat 7 "ultra thin cabling" I don't know how to bypass what big manufacturers spend thousands of dollars in: Designing a real cat 7 cable (distance between cables, insulation, wire gauge, and a long etc).

[@fishmania1982]

Try to run 10 GbE over Cat.5e. The result will surprise you.

[@AshuGupta_krazzyMobile]

if i use 1310nm/10KM/1.25g dual fiber sfp @ one side and 1550/40KM/1.25g dual fiber sfp @ other side will it compatible or will it work ? My inbetween total distance is 8 KM

[@TechnologyMoments]

Certainly I would go for identical hardware at both sides, it does not imply a big cost and might save you time or money. Have a good day!

[@christopherjc54]

8 KM 👀

[@marcusm5127]

No most likely it won't

[@hagilerman6803]

I live in Toronto Canada. I want to connect bell fiber cable straight to UDM Pro. Is that possible?

[@TechnologyMoments]

Hi, well that is not how usually ISPs let you have control over their connections. What you may have to do is to ask them to have your ISP bridge their interfaces to your UDM-Pro,. This way their equipment will bridge everything to your equipment, and of course you will have to activate all security in your device. The alternative is to have them hand you the IP address (public IP). Hope it helps.

[@Goldriver92]

Deep Pockets!

[@TechnologyMoments]

If what you mean it has become increasingly expensive the answer is yes. We actually had foreseen very different affordability for fiber over the years... as many had too.

[@DonatelaAdmin]

At 3:43, what is the name of the connector that is to be inserted in the SFP Module? thanks

[@TechnologyMoments]

that is the one that is most common which is the duplex LC connector, in that particular case with an OS2 fiber. (a whole set of fiber optic videos comming) Splice your own cables, terminate them, etc.

[@abedijay]

Is ubiquity Edgeswitch compatible with Cisco SFP modules ?

[@TechnologyMoments]

Highly probable as we've been able to test, however some sensors and monitoring may not be fully compatible.

[@turkeyphant]

Are there ways to convert an RJ45 socket to SFP+ fiber?

[@TechnologyMoments]

You can always use media converters but as external devices to your current switch: amzn.to/49ATZlz and here our video about it kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIrFgKiapstphNk

[@TheAhanin]

11:27 Why transfer speed is so low on a 10Gb SFP+?

[@TechnologyMoments]

That is a good question, as what we are showing there, is that the bottleneck is now the SSD drive's speed instead of the network. In this case a SATA SSD.

[@dataterminal]

@@TechnologyMoments Did you ever solve this issue? I have a 10g network, and SATA SSD can easily do their maximum throughput over 10g.

[@LongDono]

​@@dataterminal He's saying that the speed shown is as fast as that particular SSD can go... the only solution is a faster SSD :)

[@TechnologyMoments]

You may be talking about another of our videos? let us know.

[@mandrael]

And where is 2,5 gbit?

[@TechnologyMoments]

That is a good question and eventhough I love 2.5 GbE as it stands at a point speeds up transfers enough for me, it is mostly used in copper based solutions. Even then many copper SFP+ modules only jump from 1 to 5 and then to 10 Gbps, and as many more standards are being developed at greated speeds and at greater cost-benefit, I don't think 2.5 GbE is going to ever be deployed as 1 GbE was. Adoption of 25 Gbps and even 10 Gbps (of which potential has never been fully developed) is gonna be far greater. Still 2.5 GbE has it's place for many of us.

[@KG4JYS]

You're out of date. Sfp+ switches are about 300 bucks with 8 ports and 10Gb sfp+ modules are around 50 bucks for fiber or copper media. You could bring a home or small business up to 10gb for under 500 bucks pretty easily. 2.5Gb might have been attractive a decade ago but that time has long since passed. I think anyone serious about a small network is looking for upgrades to 40 or 100Gbps these days.

[@TechnologyMoments]

Hello Aaron, well yes it depends of course on which brand you choose to buy your 10 gbps switch. Also keep in mind we're talking about technology and not only fluctuates but also the trend is to lower prices incredibly. In terms of speed, at home we were happy with 1 gbps until now that internet access goes beyond that barrier. In terms of datacenters we thought it was going to be 10 Gbps but we saw how fast 25 Gbps entered, and how 100 Gbps took advantage of this standard and it now dominates that market. By the way a video is about to be released about sfp28s and 25 gbps NICs not only for datacenters but for enthusiasts and even small businesses. We really appreciate your time participating and contributing to everybody's experience .

[@PEneoark]

No CFPs? Lol

[@TechnologyMoments]

Hello Andrew of course for more robust environments we can talk about CFPs, however, we are merely encouraging GbE users to start migrating to 10 GbE even at home where the presence of 10 Gbps NASs and power desktop is a reality... well, a delayed reality now with the chip shortage. Thanks for enriching everybody's experience.

[@PEneoark]

@@TechnologyMoments I love it. Keep up the good work.

[@Adi-S]

Please, You should get to the point and don't talk around the subject.

[@TechnologyMoments]

We'll see what we can improve about what you say. Thanks for the comments.

[@next4978]

I agree with comment, you just giving speech while not talking about sfp connector much

[@nottsork]

great talking BUT I DONT READ SPANISH, if your going to show screen shots , while talking english please makesure they are set for your target audience > ie english otherwise we might as well listen with our eyes closed
