The Osmocom SFP breakout board is exactly what the name implies: A small break-out board for transceivers in SFP form factor.

You can use it for e.g. transmitting your own signals / waveforms (not restricted to Ethernet or CPRI) over fiber optics. This is e.g. useful if you need galvanic isolation between digital circuits, or need long-distance transmission e.g. between FPGA LVDS interfaces. attach some I2C adapter to the I2C pins of the SFP module in order to re-program it The SFP transceivers exhibit a symmetric/differencial interface for Rx and Tx. Each of them is exposed as a pair of SMA connectors, using differential traces between the SMA connectors and the transceiver module.

If you're interested in transmitting single-ended signals, please see the sfp-experimenter board instead. It's like the SFP breakout board, but contains differential transmitter + receivers.
