The Cisco CFP2-to-CPAK adapter allows a Cisco C Form-Factor Pluggable 2 (CPAK) optical module to be plugged into a CFP2 port and to emulate an optical CFP2 100G Module.
The Cisco CFP2-to-CPAK port adapter provides the ability to use the pluggable Cisco CPAK 100GBASE Module in any Cisco platform with a CFP2 client port. The Cisco CPAK module is the lowest power consuming pluggable 100G module available in a variety of IEEE standard optical interfaces from 100GBASE-SR10 to 100GBASE-ER4L. Some platforms may even be able to take advantage of CPAK and Cisco AnyPort breakout technology, enabling 10 G, 40 G or 100 G interconnects to a 100 G port.
There are two port adapters to support Cisco CPAK modules. The CVR-CFP2-CPAK4 supports modules with a 4x25G electrical interface such as CPAK-100G-LR4 and CPAK-100G-ER4L. The CVR-CFP2-CPAK10 supports modules with a 10x10G electrical interface such as CPAK-100G-SR10 and CPAK-10X10G-LR. The CVR-CFP2-CPAK4 adapter supports the two aggregate data rates of 100 Gbps Ethernet and Optical Transport Network (OTN) rates. The CVR-CFP2-CPAK10 supports only the 100GBase Ethernet data rate. Both adapters are optically, electrically, and functionally compliant to IEEE 802.3ba/802.3ae, ITU G.709/G.959 standards.
Main features include:
- Provides the performance advantages and availability of Cisco CPAK for 100 G client CFP2 ports
- Complies with IEEE standards for optical interfaces
- Reduces inventory and costs of multiple 100 G form factors across multivendor platforms environments
- Provides green design with up to 45 percent lower power consumption than comparable CFP2 modules
- The CVR-CFP2-CPAK4 supports 100 Gigabit Ethernet and OTU4 data rates
- The CVR-CFP2-CPAK10 supports 100 Gigabit Ethernet rate only
- Allows any CPAK module to be used in a CFP2 module-based switch, router, or other optical platform port with hot swappable adapter
- Enables interface choice for 4x25G or 10x10G modules
- Supports a pay-as-you-grow model
- Supports Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM)
- Has interoperability with any IEEE-compliant 100GBASE-LR4 or 100GBASE-SR10 form factors
- Provides easy-to-use pull-release handle that is color coded for reach identification
- Comes with Cisco support and reliability
- Supports the Cisco quality ID feature, which enables a Cisco switch or router to identify whether the module is certified and tested by Cisco
Cisco CFP2 to CPAK (CVR-CFP2-CPAK10)
The Cisco CFP2-to-CPAK port adapter offers the flexibility to convert a CFP2 100 Gigabit Ethernet port of a Cisco switch or router to a Cisco CPAK 100 G port.
