The problem of high-speed transceivers SFP , XFP, QSFP

With the advent of transceiver of SFP , XFP, QSFP formats with 10G speed and faster manufacturers refused the use of EEPROM to store firmware in the memory of transceivers.

Now the firmware is contained within a single-chip microcontroller, which combines the functions of a CPU, RAM for computing and non-volatile memory for storage of firmware and configuration of the module.

Despite the provided standard, many vendors implement their own algorithm for writing the firmware to the memory of their transceivers SFP , XFP and QSFP. In this regard, there is no standard programming algorithm for 10/40G transceivers.

It is well-known frustration for those who tried to reprogram the 10G module when there is a programmer and also a module, but for some reason it is not programmable.
Most of the transceivers in the world are produced by the “world factory” in China. Each manufacturer offers its own programmer. Unfortunately, the cost of such programmers is often high, but the range of applications is limited to one format of transceivers and manufacturer.

With the help of programmer you will be able to read and program transceivers of GBIC, SFP, SFP , QSFP formats using Tinout Wizard software. The programmer supports the special instructions and is able to implement an algorithm to program almost any transceiver.

Tinout's Modify SFP software is free and comes with a collection of scripts for programming transceivers. Collection of scripts is to be tested and updated regularly.
Our specialists provide the professional technical support for interoperability of transceivers and switches and are ready to help you in difficult situations.

About Tinout
Currently in the world there are lots of manufacturers of optical transceivers and switching equipment. Since first appearance of the transceivers on the market they were accompanied by the problem of supporting of compatibility with switches. Most transceivers refuse in the third party-party switches, and do not exceed a predetermined speed or cease to maintain the necessary protocols and formats.

These cause great difficulties for manufacturers, purveyors and customers.
Tinout programmers are designed to solve problems with transceivers of popular formats GBIC, SFP, SFP , XFP and QSFP.

Our team has huge experience working with the manufacturers of optical transceivers. Based on our experience and knowledge a programmer has been developed (programming board, 5V DC PS, USB, GBIC, SFP , XFP, QSFP).
