Advantages of 100G CFP4 Optical Transceivers

With the network market gradually develop from 10G to 40G and 100G, 40G/100G optical devices are also widely used in various fields. In t...

Compared with CFP / CFP2 optical transceiver, 100G CFP4 optical transceiver has the same rate but the transmission efficiency has greatly improved. Besides, the power consumption is reduced and the cost is lower than CFP2. CFP4 optical transceiver has irreplaceable advantages.

100G CFP/CFP2/CFP4 Optical Transceivers: Do You Know?

Optical Fiber Transmission Technologies Blog

Because the size of the CFP optical transceiver is too large to meet the high-density requirements of Data Center, the CFP-MSA board defined two new CFP series optical transceivers: CFP2 optical transceiver and CFP4 optical transceiver. Therefore, there are three types of optical transceivers in the 100G CFP series based on different sizes of the form factors. In this article, we are going to talk about CFP / CFP2 / CFP4 in detail.

The CFP4 Transceiver is a fully integrated 100Gbps optical transceiver module designed for optical communication applications compliant to 100GBASE-LR4 of the IEEE P802.3ba standard. The module converts 4 input channels of 25Gbps electrical data to 4 channels of LAN WDM optical signals and then multiplexes them into a single channel for 100Gbps optical transmission. Reversely on the receiver side, the module de-multiplexes a 100Gbps optical input into 4 channels of LAN WDM optical signals and then converts them to 4 output channels of electrical data. Its compact size is half smaller than the first generation CFP.

CFP4 Transceiver

CFP4 is an optical transceiver module to transmit and receive light or electricity information. It is an upgraded version of CFP2 which reaches a smaller size of only 21mm width, that is one quarter the size of CFP and half the size of CFP2. CFP4 is applied for 100G Ethernet communication and long distance transmission up to 10km. In view of the better functionality of CFP4, it costs much higher than the average transceivers, thus is not so commonly used by ordinary people. In the future, when technology matures, it may be available as the mainstream product for a 400G network.
