    Fiber Optic SFP Card Module OVERVIEW The Evertz 7708SFP series is a card-based equivalient to the 3405FR series fiber optic SFP frames. The 7708SFP series can accommodate any 3405 series SFP, allowing the SFP cages to be populated as needed with optical transmit, receive, regenerator or electrical distribution amplifier SFP’s. The 7708SFP series offers a very high-density and cost-effective solution for constructing modern fiber optic infrastructures.
