Compact SFP is a new kind of fiber transceiver usually known as CSFP fiber optic transceivers. CSFP is short for Compact SFP. CSFP has the same size of SFP, Cisco also called this as 2- channel bi-directional SFP. And in this post, we will guide you have a deeper understanding about Compact SFP if you are interested.

Today we are going to talk about a segmentation closely related to the 5G theme - 100G optical transceivers. Recently, there has been a new landmark theme, which is "100G optical transceiver", what are the reasons?

The first generation of 100G optical modules is CFP optical module with very large volume, then CFP2 and CFP4 optical modules appears. CFP4 optical module is the latest generation of 100G optical module, the width is only 1/4 of CFP optical module. Its package size is not same as the QSFP + optical module. The QSFP28 optical module has a smaller package size than the CFP4 optical module, which means the QSFP28 optical module has a higher port density on the switch. The following are several 100G QSFP28 series optical modules:

If the ambient temperature of the optical transceiver changes, the operating current of the optical transceiver will vary with temperature. At the same time, the parameters of the optical transceiver change, which affects the normal transmission of optical transceivers. Today, we mainly talk about the causes of too high or too low temperature on optical transceivers and its impact.

Perhaps you have had a certain understanding of 100G optical transceivers, but if we analysis 100G optical transceivers from another point of view, you will find something different.

To sum up, it is helpful for optical module suppliers to get ahead in the 5G era when they grasp the demand for optical modules in 5G networks in advance. So what are the specific demands of 5G optical modules? What are the mature products in the industry can initially meet the needs of 5G load? We try to analyze in the following parts.

Speaking of 100G optical module standards and types, the market mainstream models are mainly CFP / CFP2 / CFP4 and QSFP28. As an early appeared optical module, CFP is now gradually replaced by QSFP28. But the basic principle of the optical module has not changed, and we still can learn it to understand the 100G optical module. Today we will talk about what CFP is and the 100G CFP multi-source agreement (MSA).

Before deciding to design a product or purchasing a 100G optical transceiver, you should understand the type and characteristics of the 100G optical transceivers to be able to make better judgments and choices. Here we will provide a comprehensive introduction about 100G optical transceivers for all of you.

At present, there are two types of optical modulation methods for implementingCFP 100GBASE-LR4 transmission in the mainstream market. One is a Direct Modulation Laser Modulation (DML) mode, that is, a direct modulation laser. And another one is an Electlro -Modulation Modulation (EML) mode, that is, modulation laser.The following post will briefly introduce some key technical points of using the TEC circuit and EML modulation mode to realize the 100G CFP / CFP2 LR4 optical transceivers.

The widespread deployment of 100G Ethernet in data centers and networks is driving the demand for 400G solutions and providing a source of funding for 400G device developments. Those suppliers who have successfully developed competing 100G optical modules and components are expanding 100G while developing lower-cost 100G solutions and introducing 25G, 50G, 200G, 400G and 600G products.
