SFP Module Support List for RV160x and RV260x Devices
Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports are included on the RV160 and 260 routers to allow the use of optical SFP transceiver modules. SFP’s convert the optical signals to electrical signals. SFP’s allow the handling of higher data rates. SFP ports empower SFP switches to connect various Ethernet and fiber cables through the network. There are also various types of SFP modules to suit your network’s needs. This article provides a complete list of officially supported SFP Modules and customer tested SFP Modules.
