Champion ONE offers CFP4 optical modules

Optical transceiver vendor Champion ONE has added a CFP4 hot-pluggable optical module to its Passport line of 100-Gbps products. The CFP joins existing CFP, CFP2, and CXP optical transceivers in the Passport family.

The company has four flavors of CFP4 modules on its roster:

• The single-rate 100GBase-SR4 Ethernet transceivers support distances of 70 m on OM3 multimode fiber and 100 m on OM4 fiber. Maximum power consumption is 4 W.
• The multi-rate SR4 module supports both 100GBase-SR4 Ethernet and 4x28-Gbps Optical Transport Network (OTN) applications. It will reach 100 m on OM3 fiber and 150 m on OM4 fiber. It's maximum power consumption also is 4 W.
• The single-rate 100GBase-LR4 Ethernet device reaches 10 km on single-mode fiber. It features a maximum power consumption of 6 W.
• The multi-rate LR4 version supports both 100GBase-LR4 Ethernet and OTN OUT-4 4I1-9D1F applications of 10 km. Maximum power consumption is 6 W as well.
  

All of the CFP4 devices are MSA compliant, which mean the support the same data rates as CFPs and CFP2s, but with significantly reduced power consumption (6 W maximum) and footprint. Champion ONE offers a 5-year warranty on the modules as well.
