Finisar CXP Transceivers
Finisar CXP transceivers are ultra-high-density optical modules designed specifically for the most demanding short-reach applications in high-performance computing (HPC) and massive data center fabrics. By leveraging 12 independent transmit and 12 independent receive channels, the CXP form factor provides an incredible density of bandwidth in a compact, hot-pluggable interface.

High-Density Parallel OpticsMassive Throughput: The CXP series typically delivers 120 Gbps of total bandwidth (12 channels at 10 Gbps each). This makes them a powerhouse for switch-to-switch clustering and high-speed "fat tree" network topologies. Parallel Technology: Unlike standard transceivers that use one or four lanes, the CXP utilizes a 24-fiber MPO/MTP connector interface to manage its 12-lane parallel fiber architecture. Infiniband Optimized: While widely used for 100G Ethernet applications, Finisar CXP modules are specifically optimized for InfiniBand 12x QDR (Quad Data Rate), making them the standard choice for low-latency supercomputer interconnects.
