No.

SFP+ is, as the name suggests, a form factor.

The form factor generally describes the physical dimensions and
electrical connections for a particular type of module. The original SFP
form factor standard topped out the speed at about 5Gbps. Modules in the
SFP+ form factor can operate up to 16Gbps.
