A CFP optical module is a high-speed pluggable transceiver used in fiber optic communication systems to enable 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100G) data transmission over optical fiber. The term “C form-factor pluggable” refers to the specific form factor and electrical interface of these modules, ensuring. The CFP, short for C form-factor pluggable, is a multi-source agreement to define the form-factor of the optical transceiver for high-speed digital signal transmission. The c stands for the Latin letter C used to express the number 100 (centum), since. Cisco offers a comprehensive range of pluggable optical modules in the Cisco ONS pluggables portfolio. Form factor: Larger than SFP or QSFP, optimized for high power and long-haul optics. Supported speeds: 40G, 100G, and up to 400G.
