Product overview

The Cisco^® CXP 100GBASE modules offer customers a wide variety of high-density 100Gbps connectivity solutions for short-reach data center networking, high-performance computing networks, enterprise core aggregation, and service provider transport applications.

Features and benefits

Primary features of Cisco CXP 100GBASE modules include:

●      Support for 100 Gigabit Ethernet

●      Hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into a Cisco CXP-module-based switch, router, or optical platform port

●      Flexibility of interface choice

●      Support for a "pay-as-you-grow" model

●      Support for Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM)

●      CXP-100G-SR10 and CXP-100G-SR12 are both interoperable with any IEEE-compliant 100GBASE-SR10 form factors

●      CXP-100G-SR10 and CXP-100G-SR12 both support breakout applications for 40GBASE-SR4

●      Operating distance of maximum 100 meters over OM3 fibers or maximum 150 meters over OM4 fibers

●      Power consumption of maximum 3.5W

●      Operating case temperature of 0°C to 70°C

●      MPO-24 optical receptacle

Cisco CXP 100GBASE-SR10 module

The Cisco CXP 100GBASE-SR10 module (Figure 1) supports link lengths of 100m and 150m on laser-optimized OM3 and OM4 multifiber cables, respectively. The module delivers high-bandwidth 100-gigabit links over 24-fiber ribbon cables terminated with MPO/MTP-24 optical connectors. It can also be used in 10 x 10-Gb mode along with ribbon-to-duplex-fiber breakout cables for connectivity to ten 10GBASE-SR optical interfaces.
