Editing Small Form-factor Pluggable (section)

==Mechanical dimensions==
[[Image:SFP-side.jpg|thumb|right|Side view of SFP module. Depth, the longest dimension, is {{convert|56.5|mm|abbr=on}}.]]

The physical dimensions of the SFP transceiver (and its subsequent faster variants) are narrower than the later QSFP counterparts, which allows for SFP transceivers to be placed in QSFP ports via an inexpensive adapter. Both are smaller than the [[XFP transceiver]].
