D-Link's 10 G SFP+ module series are hot-swappable SFP+ transceivers that plug into SFP+ slots on switches & support 10 G Ethernet. The D-Link 10 G Base SFP+ module series transceivers offer customers a wide variety of 10 G Ethernet connectivity options for data centers, enterprise wiring closets, & service provider transport applications. The transceivers use the Enhanced Small Formfactor Pluggable format (SFP+). The SFP+ form factor is smaller than other form factors such as Xenpak, X2, & 10 G XFP, ensuring lower costs, lower power disruption, & higher port density. They provide the necessary signal amplification for data to be transmitted to the network cable from the port, & vice versa, for the port to receive data from the network cable. All D-Link transceivers are hot-pluggable. You can connect a transceiver while the system is powered on without causing any problems. This permits modules to be added or removed without interrupting the network. The transceivers all support 10 G Ethernet, which results in very fast data transmissions of up to 10 Gbit/s. This is 10 times faster than Gigabit Ethernet & enables the switch to handle faster & higher data transmissions, making it very suitable for business needs.
