When to use an SFP optical module

You can use an SFP optic module to turn electrical signals into optical signals. This lets you send data far away. An SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) is a compact, hot-pluggable transceiver module that allows networking equipment — including switches, routers, servers, and media converters — to support different physical media, such as optical fiber or copper, without replacing the host hardware. An SFP interface on networking hardware is a modular slot for a media-specific transceiver, such as for a fiber-optic cable or a copper. Optical transceivers are compact, hot-pluggable devices that convert electrical signals into optical signals, enabling high-speed data transmission across switches, routers, and other networking equipment. Transceiver compatibility is a key concern in enterprise network deployments. [pdf]

Which port should the Huawei 1270tx optical module be plugged into

It is with the SFP+ 20-pin connector to allow hot plug capability. The SFP-10G-BX module is designed for single mode fiber and operates at nominal wavelength of 1270nm; SFP-10G-BX module is designed for single mode fiber and operates at a nominal wavelength of 1330nm. Single-fiber bidirectional (BIDI) optical modules must be used in pairs.
