    Maximum optical power received by the optical module

    Overload optical power, also known as saturated optical power, refers to the maximum input average optical power that the receiving end components can receive under a certain bit error rate of the optical module. SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) optical modules are compact, hot-pluggable transceivers that enable network equipment to connect seamlessly to fiber and copper links. These modules, including SFP, SFP+, and SFP28, are widely used in enterprise networks, data centers, and carrier-grade deployments.
