What is sfp and losses in optical fiber

Question

Accepted Answer

SFP stands for Small Form-factor Pluggable, a compact transceiver used in networking devices. Losses in optical fiber refer to the reduction in signal strength as light travels through the fiber.

SFP is a hot-swappable transceiver used in networking equipment to transmit and receive data over optical fiber or copper cables.
Losses in optical fiber can occur due to factors like bending, splicing, and impurities in the fiber material.
Losses are measured in decibels (dB) and can be minimized by using high-quality fiber optic cables and connectors.
Examples of losses in optical fiber include attenuation (signal weakening over distance) and reflection (signal bouncing back).
