this project is a small PCB "piHat" design to interface the I2C bus of SFP and SFP+ modules with a raspberry Pi.
Basic I2C tools from raspbian will permit to read or write the eeprom data

(Please note that this project is NOT fiber optic network interface. just a cheap way to edit the internal data of the optic module)

This project is inspired from this

Some basic software is available from this site.

    One hole of the metal cage is misplaced.

    You just have to cut or bend this pin and it will be ok.

I hope you don't mind, I've uploaded your Gerber files to a git repo and renamed them so they are usable with online fabs such as OshPark: https://github.com/xunker/pihat_sfp_encoder_gerbers . I didn't see any licensing information here, and if you would like me to remove the repo I am happy to.

no problem, this is a free design.

Do you know if by reading the information of the SFF GPON transceiver I can obtain the distance traveled by the fiber? to detect faults?

as far as i know, no it can't, but maybe some SFP will have proprietary extension allowing it.

I used your code to read the data from the SFF GPON transceiver module in the Adtran device that my phone company uses to terminate my gigabit internet service. I cracked open the Adtran TA-324 and soldered on a header for the I2C interface and plugged my raspberry pi into it. https://paste.ubuntu.com/25424322/
