AGREEMENT FOR FORM-FACTOR FOR DIGITAL SIGNALS
CFP2-ACO; C Form-factor Pluggable
The C form-factor pluggable (CFP, 100G form factor pluggable, where C is The CFP was designed after the small form-factor pluggable transceiver (SFP) interface, but is significantly larger to support 100 Gbit/s. While the electrical connection of a CFP uses lanes in each direction (RX, TX), the optical connection can support both and variants of 100 Gbit/s interconnects (typically referred to as 100GBASE-SR10 in 100 meter MMF, 100GBASE-LR10 and 100GBASE-LR4 in 10 km SMF reach, and 100GBASE-ER10 and 100GBASE-ER4 in 40 km SMF reach respectively.
