CFP optical module full name
The C form-factor pluggable (CFP, 100G form factor pluggable, where C is Latin: centum "hundred") is a multi-source agreement to produce a common form-factor for the transmission of high-speed digital signals. The c stands for the Latin letter C used to express the number 100 (centum), since the standard was primarily developed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet systems. CFP standardizationThe CFP transceiver is specified by a (MSA) among competing manufacturers. CFP transceivers can support a single 100 Gbit/s signal like or or one or more 40 Gbit/s signals like 40GbE,, or /. The original CFP specification was proposed at a time when 10 Gbit/s signals were far more achievable than 25 Gbit/s signals.
