How to choose the right optical module?

Today, with the spread of optical fiber networks in communication infrastructures, optical modules (SFP) are one of the most important components in these networks. Choosing the right optical module increases the efficiency and speed of data in these networks. The manufacturer of optical modules designs and produces a wide range of different models.
