This CFP Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) defines the CFP4 form factor of an optical transceiver which can support  40Gbit/s and 100Gbit/s interfaces for Ethernet, ITU-T OTN and other applications. Specifications provided in this document are given as a “delta” to the CFP MSA Hardware Specification Rev.1.4 or the CFP2 Hardware Specification Rev. 1.0.

CFP 100GBASE-SR10 / OTU4 Parallel Optical Module:Designed to support the IEEE 100GBASE-SR10 link specification; the newly developed F-tone 100G CFP transceiver provides increased port density and total system cost savings. The F-tone CFP module has a single MPO port which connects to an industry standard 2x12 multi-mode fiber cable. One 2x12 multi-mode optical fiber cable terminated with MPO optical connectors connects two CFP modules.

CFP Dual 40GBASE-SR4 / OTU3 Parallel Optical Module:pictureDesigned to support the IEEE 40GBASE-SR4 link specification; the newly developed F-tone Dual 40G CFP transceiver offers 2 independent 40G Ethernet links in one CFP slot. The F-tone CFP transceiver has two MPO ports which connect to industry standard 12-fiber multi-mode fiber cable. Both MPO ports will inter-operate with equipment using 40GBASE-SR4 QSFP transceivers.

CFP Single 40GBASE-SR4 / OTU3 Parallel Optical Module: pictureThe F-toneSingle port 40 Gbps short reach Ethernet CFP transceiver module provides significant system cost and power savings while maintaining form factor compatibility with longer reach optics. The F-tone40GE CFP module is compliant to the CFP MSA standard as well as the IEEE 802.3ba specification for 40GBASE-SR4 links.
