I recently had to source some copper SFPs. What struck me while reviewing the quotes was that the copper SFPs, both 1G and 10G, are relatively expensive compared to optics.
Does anybody know why this is? Are manufacturing costs higher or is it just due to smaller volumes? Or is there some technical reason like power budget or heat dissipation that makes them more expensive to make?
Inquiring minds want to know.
