CFP Transceiver for 100GbE Connectivity
Today an overwhelming majority of the 40G/100G traffic running globally, data center and commercial network operators are accelerating the adoption of 100GbE connectivity and transport to meet the bandwidth explosion driven. The CFP transceiver MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) defines a hot-pluggable optical transceiver form-factor for 100Gbps, high-speed Ethernet applications for data and telecommunication networks.There is also 40G CFP transceiver, like QSFP transceiver. It's pretty much always 4x10G over 4 pairs of fiber, not over a single pair.
100G can be either 10x10G over 10 pairs or 4x25G over 4 pairs. They both generally use MPO/MTP connectors so all 8/20 strands needed are joined into one convenient connector. 100G CFP optical module designed for metro networks under long transmission distance. The coherent CFP transceiver is expected to be cost-competitive with the 100G direct-detection CFP that uses 4 x 25Gbps wavelengths.
About the CFP2 Transceiver
To deliver on the promise of 100G and beyond, our customers are demanding higher density, lower power and increased performance — all of which are enabled by higher data rate solutions such as CFP2 transceivers. CFP2 transceiver technology is being widely adopted in today's optical networks because it features low power consumption in a form factor that is half the size of first generation CFP products. The smaller size of the CFP2 transceiver is achieved by reducing the number of electrical lanes from 10 to 4 by applying a 25Gbps per channel electrical interface instead of 10Gbps and hence removing the gearbox from the module. In order to achieve the smaller size, more integrated in-house optical components are used based on leading-edge optical device technologies. In addition, the CFP2 transceiver can optically interoperate with first and second-generation CFP transceivers, which allows customers to quickly and cost-effectively transition to CFP2 designs as market requirements evolve. The CFP2 is designed to be fully compliant with the relevant MSA, IEEE and ITU-T specifications.
