Product Highlights

1.Extended 40km Reach Over Single-Mode Fiber (No External Amplification)

Compliant with the IEEE 100GBASE-ER4 specification, this module delivers robust 100 Gbps throughput over standard G.652 single-mode fiber (SMF) for distances up to 40 kilometers. By eliminating the need for expensive, power-hungry optical amplifiers (such as EDFA) or mid-span repeater stations, it significantly reduces both capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operational complexity for long-distance transport.

2.Advanced 4-Channel LAN-WDM Architecture (1310nm Window)

The module utilizes a highly efficient 4-channel LAN-WDM optical multiplexing/demultiplexing scheme, operating on the ultra-precise 1310nm optical grid (1295.56, 1300.05, 1304.58, and 1309.14 nm). This tight channel spacing offers exceptional spectral efficiency, minimal insertion loss, and superior resistance to chromatic dispersion, ensuring flawless data integrity even at the 40km distance limit.

3.Next-Gen Hot-Pluggable CFP2 Form Factor (High Density & Low Power)

Designed around the industry-standard CFP2 MSA package, this hot-swappable transceiver offers a massive evolutionary leap over legacy first-generation CFP modules. It cuts power consumption significantly and slashes physical space requirements, allowing network operators to maximize line-card port density, reduce chassis heat loads, and optimize data center cooling efficiency.

4.Comprehensive Real-Time Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM)

Integrated with a sophisticated telemetry subsystem, the module provides proactive, real-time tracking of critical operating metrics. Network administrators can seamlessly monitor internal temperature, supply voltage, laser bias current, transmitted optical power (Tx), and received optical power (Rx) directly through the Cisco CLI. This facilitates proactive fault isolation, predictive maintenance, and minimizes costly network downtime.
