Cisco CFP Transceiver Modules - Refurbished, Used, New
Cisco CFP and CFP2 transceiver modules are the large-format 40G and 100G optics used on Cisco ASR 9000, CRS and NCS routers and ONS optical platforms, where a single line card port carries a long-haul, metro or data center interconnect link. CFP is the original full-size module; CFP2 is about half the width, draws less power and is the form factor used for coherent DWDM and 100G ER4 optics on newer line cards. This collection also includes the CVR-CFP2-CPAK10 adapter, which lets a CFP2 slot on an ASR 9000 card take a CPAK module. NetworkTigers sells Cisco CFP and CFP2 modules and adapters refurbished, used and new. Every module is tested before it ships so it links at the stated reach when it arrives.

Which Cisco CFP module do I need?
Match the form factor to the line card slot first: CFP and CFP2 are different sizes and do not interchange, and the ONS-prefixed parts are coded for ONS and NCS optical cards rather than router line cards, so check the card's supported optics list for your exact part number. Then pick by distance and fiber. SR4 and SR10 run over OM3 or OM4 multimode with MPO trunks and suit links within a building. LR4 covers 10km and ER4 40km over duplex single-mode fiber, and CFP-40G-FR covers 2km on a single 1550nm wavelength. For anything over 40km, or for a DWDM system, ONS-CFP2-WDM is a coherent module that tunes to a C-band channel and runs at 100G or 200G depending on the line card and distance. If your newer ASR 9000 card has CFP2 slots and you already own CPAK optics, the CVR-CFP2-CPAK10 adapter reuses them. Pair the same standard at both ends, and ask us to confirm support on your card and IOS XR release before ordering.
Frequently asked questions
What does OTU3 on a 40G CFP mean?
OTU3 is the 43G OTN rate. CFP-40G-LR4 and CFP-40G-FR support both 40G Ethernet and OTU3 framing, so the same module can run on a router port as Ethernet or on a transport card as an OTN client.
Why are there CFP and CFP2 versions of the 100G ER4?
They do the same job over the same 40km single-mode link but fit different line cards. Older ASR 9000 and CRS cards have CFP slots; newer cards use CFP2. Buy the one that fits your card, since there is no adapter between the two sizes.
Can I use ONS-CC-100GE-LR4 in an ASR 9000 CFP port?
Cisco codes ONS parts for ONS and NCS platforms, and router cards check the coding. It may link, but it is not supported there, so use a router-coded CFP in a router and keep the ONS part for the transport card it was made for.
