Cisco 100 Gigabit Adapter CVR-CFP2-CPAK4

Product overview

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.

Features and benefits

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 supporty 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-CPAK4)

The Cisco CFP2-to-CPAK port adapter (Figure 1) offers the flexibility to convert a CFP2 100 Gigabit Ethernet port of a Cisco switch or router to a Cisco CPAK 100 G port.

Product specifications

Following is information about platform support, and connectors and cabling.

Platform Support

Cisco CVR-CFP2-CPAK4 and CVR-CFP2-CPAK10 port adapters are supported on 100 Gigabit Ethernet CFP2 ports of Cisco switches. For more details, see this document: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/interfaces_modules/transceiver_modules/compatibility/matrix/100GE_Tx_Matrix.html.

Connectors and Cabling

CVR-CFP2-CPAK10 and CVR-CFP2-CPAK10 contain no optics, Connector and fiber type information should be determined from the CPAK module datasheet: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/routers/carrier-routing-system/data_sheet_c78-728110.html.
