SFPS.AE vs FS.com: Why Middle East Businesses Are Choosing a Local Optical Transceiver Partner
As the Middle East accelerates toward a fully digital, fiber-driven future, the demand for reliable transceivers, SFPs, DAC/AOC cables, and optical networking hardware has never been higher. From hyperscale data centers in the UAE and Saudi Arabia to system integrators deploying critical network upgrades, organizations need more than just low prices — they need a trusted local partner who understands the region, the urgency, the environment, and the technology.
For years, many buyers compared global players like FS.com with local suppliers. But today, the Middle East market has shifted. Increasingly, enterprises, telcos, government entities, and IT integrators are choosing SFPS.AE — the Middle East’s dedicated transceiver and fiber connectivity specialist.

- Real technical support in the same timezone
Your business runs on uptime and speed — and FS.com cannot match local responsiveness.

Compatible Optical Transceivers
Many network engineers and IT teams across the Middle East search for FS.com transceivers when sourcing compatible optics for Cisco, Juniper, Arista, HPE Aruba, Huawei, and Nokia switches. While FS.com is a well-known global supplier, customers in the UAE and Qatar often face longer shipping times, customs delays, limited local support, and challenges with urgent or mission-critical deployments. This is where SFPS provides a strong local alternative—offering the same class of OEM-compatible fibre transceivers, purpose-built for regional networks and fast turnaround requirements.
SFPS.AE and SFPS.QA specialise in brand-coded, fully tested compatible transceivers for enterprise networks, data centres, ISPs, and systems integrators in the GCC. Our portfolio includes SFP, SFP+, SFP28, QSFP+, QSFP28, and QSFP-DD optics across 1G, 10G, 25G, 40G, 100G, and 400G, covering SR, LR, ER, CWDM, and DWDM applications. Unlike overseas suppliers, SFPS focuses on local stock availability, regional compliance, and real compatibility testing, ensuring optics work seamlessly in live production environments without risk.
