[0002] In the related technology, the SFP optical module is a hot-swappable packaged module encapsulated in SFP. It is an interface device that converts gigabit electrical signals into optical signals. It is an industry-standard pluggable gigabit optical transceiver module. The SFP optical module has two ports: 1. The SFP port is mainly plugged into network devices such as switches, routers, and media converters to convert electrical signals into optical signals for transmission; 2. The LC interface or RJ45 interface is mainly used to connect optical fibers or network cables for data transmission. Compared with traditional optoelectronic conversion modules, SFP optoelectronic conversion modules have been widely used in optoelectronic conversion transmission lines due to their miniaturization characteristics.
