What is difference between SFP+ Ethernet ports & SFP Ethernet ports on switches specification

Hello Knaik99,

usually with SFP+ it is meant the support of either 1 GE SFP or 10GE SFP.

Some switches allow to support different types of optics or just plug and play or with an explicit configuration

 

Edit:

for reference

The differences between SFP and SFP+

  1. SFP doesn't support 10G transmission data rate that means they can't be used in the same network.

  2. From the price, SFP+ is a little bit more expensive than SFP.

  3. SFP is based on IEEE802.3 and SFF-8472 while SFP+ is based on SFF-8431.
