Optimized, Certified Optical Transceivers for Extending Service Provider and Data Center Networks
Today’s service provider networking environments and enterprise data centers are undergoing an infrastructure transformation, requiring higher speeds, greater scalability, and higher levels of performance and reliability to better meet the demands of business. As speed and performance needs increase, optical transceivers have become an integral part of overall system design. However, optical transceiver design margins and parameters vary widely, and can be the difference between an optimized, highly reliable fabric, and incompatibility issues that drive up support costs.
The Brocade® 100 Gbps LR4 (10 km) CFP2 Ethernet Optical Transceiver, part of the Brocade family of optical transceivers, is optimized to fully leverage the Brocade MLXe® Series and Brocade VDX® Switches with 100 Gbps capabilities. Together, these optical transceivers provide state-of-the-art performance and help IT organizations achieve new levels of infrastructure consolidation while expanding the capabilities of their applications and services.
END-TO-END COMPATIBILITY AND RELIABILITY
Brocade 100 Gbps LR4 CFP2 Ethernet Optical Transceivers support highly reliable operations in service provider and data center networks, and are optimized for Brocade switching platforms. They undergorigorous qualification and certification testing to provide an end-to-end solution that is easier to maintain—helping improve the availability of data center networks
KEY FEATURES
Brocade 100 Gbps LR4 C Form-Factor Pluggables 2 (CFP2) are hot-swappable, low-voltage (3.3 V) digital diagnostic Ethernet optical transceivers that support high-speed serial links over single-mode optical fiber at signaling rates up to 100 Gbps. They comply with the CFP2 MSA and optical (IEEE 802.3ba) specifications. supporting mission-critical applications.
