Smart SFPs

With over 40 years of expertise in hardware miniaturization, including a Guiness World Record for smallest modem, RAD offers a wide range of pluggable devices for a multitude of purposes. From clock distribution and synchronization to IP encryption and fiber capacity increase, these smart SFPs offer advanced functionality otherwise available only in standalone network devices, thereby saving on rack space, power consumption, technician visits, and training.

​RAD’s smart SFPs include:

  • 100G Dual to Single Fiber QSFP28 DD Adaptor
  • Miniature IP Traffic Encryption Device
  • 1588 Grandmaster on an SFP with Built-In GNSS
  • Field-programmable L2/L3 network interface device (NID) with performance monitoring in an SFP sleeve
  • Smart SFP Fast Ethernet or GbE to E1/T1 Remote Bridges
  • Smart SFP TDM Pseudowire Gateways
  • GPON OLT and optical transceivers in SFPs
