Cisco 40GBASE CFP Modules Data Sheet

Product overview

The Cisco® 40GBASE CFP transceiver modules are hot-swappable input/output devices that plug into a 40 Gigabit Ethernet CFP port of a Cisco switch or router. They offer customers versatile 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity options in core and distribution layers of data center, enterprise, and service provider networks.

Features and benefits

Main features of Cisco 40GBASE CFP modules include:

●      Support for 40GBASE Ethernet and OTU3 standards

●      Interoperability with respective industry IEEE- and/or OTU3-compliant interfaces

●      Variety of interface choices for 40 Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity

●      Support for “pay-as-you-populate” model

●      Support for digital optical monitoring (DOM)

●      Support for the Cisco quality identification (ID) feature, which enables a Cisco switch or router to identify whether the module is certified and tested by Cisco

Cisco CFP-40G-SR4

The Cisco 40GBASE-SR4 CFP module (Figure 1) supports link lengths of up to 100m and 150m, respectively, over laser-optimized OM3 and OM4 multimode fiber cables. It enables high-bandwidth 40 Gigabit Ethernet optical links over ribbon fiber cables terminated with female MPO/MTP 12-fiber connectors. This CFP module supports IEEE 40GBASE-SR4 standard only.

Cisco CFP-40G-LR4

The Cisco 40GBASE-LR4 CFP module (Figure 2) supports link lengths of up to 10km over a standard pair of G.652 single-mode fiber with duplex SC connectors. The 40 Gigabit Ethernet signal is carried over four wavelengths. Multiplexing and demultiplexing of the four wavelengths are managed within the device. This CFP module supports both IEEE 40GBASE-LR4 and OTU3 C4S1-2D1 standards.

Cisco CFP-40G-FR

The Cisco 40GBASE-FR CFP module supports link lengths of up to 2km over a standard pair of single-mode fiber with duplex SC connectors. It implements a serial optical lane at 40 Gigabit. This CFP module supports both IEEE 40GBASE-FR and OTU3 VSR2000-3R2 standards.

Cisco FourX Converter Module (CVR-CFP-4SFP10G)

The Cisco FourX converter module (Figure 3) offers the flexibility to convert a 40 Gigabit Ethernet CFP port of a Cisco switch or router into four independent 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports supporting Cisco 10GBASE Small Form Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) modules. The 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ modules are not included.
