The Cisco CFP transceiver module, part number CFP-100G-LR4=, is a high-performance optical networking component designed to provide reliable data transmission at 100Gbps. It complies with the 100GBASE-LR4 standard, making it suited for long-reach applications over single-mode fibre with distances of up to 10 kilometres. This transceiver is a Compact Form-factor Pluggable (CFP) module that supports both Ethernet and OTN (Optical Transport Network) applications.
Utilising Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) technology, the CFP-100G-LR4= splits 100Gbps of data into four optical wavelengths (lanes) before transmission, each operating at a rate of 25Gbps. Data is then recombined after it reaches its destination, maintaining the full 100Gbps bandwidth throughout the process. Its four-channel CWDM functionality operates within the 1300nm wavelength range, ensuring efficient data flow, even over longer distances commonly required by service providers or large-scale data centre deployments.
The module features LC duplex connectors, a standard choice for single-mode fibre applications, simplifying the process of cable management. It also offers Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM), enabling real-time alarms and status notifications related to critical operational parameters such as temperature, supply voltage, and laser bias current. This ensures the module can be monitored for performance and diagnostics purposes.
The CFP transceiver is designed for use in Cisco equipment, but it can also support a broad range of networking platforms that follow standardised guidelines. The module is hot-swappable, minimising downtimes during installations or replacements.
