Engineered for performance, efficiency, and broad compatibility, our optical modules support networks in over 80 countries.
In an era driven by 400G and 800G optical innovations, the 1.25G SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) module remains the structural foundation of global telecommunication systems and enterprise networks. It offers a balanced ratio of cost-efficiency, technical maturity, and operational longevity, ensuring stable deployments across various industries.
From Metro Ethernet infrastructures in North America to FTTH expansion programs in Southeast Asia, Gigabit Ethernet SFPs provide the reliable physical layer interface required to transmit voice, video, and industrial telemetry.
Our modules bridge enterprise routers, switches, media converters, and firewall systems over distances ranging from 550m to ultra-long hauls of 160km, providing high signal integrity and low latency.
Built strictly in accordance with SFP MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) standards and SFF-8472 protocol. We guarantee 100% interoperability with major switch vendors globally.
A leading optical transceiver manufacturer delivering fiber optic communication solutions for data centers, telecom networks, and enterprises worldwide.
Novafiber operates a precision manufacturing facility covering approximately 420㎡. Designed for high-end optical alignment, testing, and component calibration, the facility maximizes unit-area production throughput and efficiency.
We employ 65 quality inspection personnel. Every 1.25G SFP Module undergoes systematic procedures including IPC standard verification, environmental stress screening (ESS), high-temperature aging, and 100% interoperability field testing.
With 180 experienced R&D engineers, we released 320 new product variations last year. We support protocol adaptation, EEPROM customization, wavelength tuning, custom logo printing, and packaging branding.
China is a global hub for optoelectronics manufacturing, providing reliable, high-yield production of 1.25G SFP transceivers. At Novafiber, we leverage this localized ecosystem to combine raw material cost efficiency with modern manufacturing standards.
Our facility near major domestic semiconductor and raw optical component centers allows us to source quality lasers (TOSA), photodetectors (ROSA), and PCBA sub-assemblies efficiently. This proximity helps us maintain a stable supply chain during market fluctuations.

How network system integrators and engineers deploy our 1.25G SFP modules across global industries.
Telecommunication operators use 1.25G Single Mode BiDi SFPs to maximize fiber efficiency. BiDi modules transmit and receive on a single strand of fiber (using separate wavelengths like 1310nm/1550nm), doubling the user density in Fiber-to-the-Home distribution networks.
Integrators rely on 850nm Multimode 550m SFP modules to link core switch racks with distribution layer hardware in enterprise offices, schools, and hospitals, maintaining reliable local area networks.
Using industrial-temperature range SFPs (-40°C to 85°C), system integrators build networks for wind farms, railway networks, and electrical substations where components are exposed to temperature extremes and electrical interference.
