SFPWorx use cases

As the use of data across networks becomes more and more important, the bandwidth and speeds required are ever increasing. Most networks and data centres are now upgrading their optical transceivers to manage with the rise in data transmissions.

Building new and upgrading existing networks can be very costly and confusing, which can put a lot of pressure on CIOs and CFOs. CIOs are often swayed by the OEMs to stick to branded optics within their networks. CFOs are being asked to put aside exorbitant budgets that are up to 70% more with OEMs

Typically, 10% – 15% of total network spend on lower speed networks is directly linked to transceivers. For speeds over 100G this can increase to over 40% and with the new emerging 400G traffic standard this can be close to 60%.

With same day shopping of available stock, cost savings of up to 70% and complete support throughout your journey SFPWorx can help CIOs to work through the complexities of building or upgrading, while giving CFOs the comfort that there are less expensive options to the OEMs when selecting optical transceivers.

Not only that, but legislation also helps. Under the Magnuson-Moss Act of 1975 there is comprehensive protection against coercion around warranty by the OEMs.
