Extreme Networks' CFP2 modules provide transmit and receive channels in a single pluggable optical module, for an aggregate bandwidth of 100 Gbps.
CFP2 modules are used in Extreme Networks BlackDiamond switches. Two CFP2 modules are available: SR10 and LR4. The CFP2 SR10 module can be used for distances up to 150 meters, while the CFP2 LR4 module can be used for distances up to 10 kilometers.
You can insert or remove CFP2 modules without powering down the system.
The information in this guide about hardware platform support for CFP2 modules is current as of the date this guide was published. Support for CFP2 modules might have been added to other switches or I/O modules besides those listed in this guide.
For current information about hardware support and the minimum required software for CFP2 modules, refer to the most recent version of the Extreme Optics website.
