CFP optical modules support transmission on single-mode and multi-mode fibers with various rates, protocols, and link lengths. CFP optical modules are designed on the basis of small form-factor pluggable optical module (SFP) interfaces and have a larger size , supports 100 Gbps data transfer. CFP optical modules can support a single 100G signal, OTU4, one or more 40G signals, OTU3 or STM-256/OC-768.​​

CFP optical modules are used in racks, data centers, subway networks, switches and routers, etc., and have the following characteristics:

1. Patented WDM optical front end;

2. CFP complies with MSA;

3. The connection distance can reach 100 meters/10 kilometers/40 kilometers;

4. ITU-T G.694.2 CWDM grid structure.

100G CFP2 is often used as a 100G Ethernet interconnect link, with higher transmission efficiency than CFP optical modules, and its smaller size also makes it suitable for higher-density wiring.

The 100G CFP4 optical module has the same rate as the CFP/CFP2 optical module, and the transmission efficiency is greatly improved, but the power consumption is reduced, and the cost is lower than that of the CFP2, so the CFP4 optical module has irreplaceable advantages. Talk about the advantages of CFP4 optical modules.

Advantages of CFP4 Optical Modules

1. Higher transmission efficiency, the early 100G CFP optical module achieves 100G transmission rate through 10 10G channels, while the current 100G CFP4 optical module achieves 100G transmission through 4 25G channels, so the transmission efficiency is higher, Greater stability.

2. Smaller in size, the volume of the CFP4 optical module is one quarter of that of the CFP, and it is the smallest optical module in the CFP series of optical modules.

3. The module integration is higher, the integration of CFP2 is twice that of CFP, and the integration of CFP4 is four times that of CFP.

4. The power consumption and cost are lower, the transmission efficiency of CFP4 optical module is obviously improved, but the power consumption is reduced, and the system cost is also lower than that of CFP2.
