CFP transceivers can support a single 100 Gbit/s signal like or or one or more 40 Gbit/s signals like 40GbE,, or /. The in 2016 published the CFP2-ACO or CFP2 - Analog Coherent Optics Module Interoperability Agreement (IA). The CFP2SFP+ conversion module is pluggable into optical systems with 40G/100G CFP (MSA) interface. This module receives four serial transceivers (SerDes) signals from a CFP port and brings them to four SFP+ ports each running at 10Gbps. Cisco offers a range of GBIC, SFP, XFP, SFP+, CXP, CFP, Cisco CPAK, and QSFP+ pluggable modules. 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 QDCO1 operates at 28Gbaud and supports 100Gb/s tunable WDM transmission in the compact and popular QSFP28 pluggable form-factor, with low power consumption of <6Watts and support for 100GE and OTN clients. Supporting single-span unamplified reach of up to 80km, amplified reach up to 120km, and. A form factor is an engineering term that defines and describes the characteristics of a class of optical transceivers, with particular reference to data speed. These characteristics are determined by common agreement between engineering manufacturers and codified in what's called the Multi-Source.
