What does XFP mean?
10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable
XFP vs SFP+: Definition. The XFP (10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable) is a standard for modules for high-speed network and telecommunication links that use optical fiber. XFP modules are hot-swappable, protocol-independent and they typically operate at near-infrared wavelengths (colors) of 850nm, 1310nm or 1550nm.Jan 5, 2022

What is an XFP transceiver?
An XFP transceiver (10 Gigabit Small Form-factor Pluggable) is a hot-swappable optical module designed for high-speed telecom and carrier networks. Slightly larger than SFP+ modules, XFP operates independently of the host system's clocking, making it a flexible solution for long-haul and metro transport.
