Extreme Networks CFP2 100GBASE-LR4 Optical Module

Elevate your data networking with the Extreme Networks CFP2 100GBASE-LR4 Optical Module. This high-performance transceiver is engineered for data centers, campus networks, and core backbones where scalable, reliable 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity is essential. Built around the CFP2 form factor and LR4 technology, it delivers up to 100 Gbps of aggregate data transfer over single‑mode fiber, enabling dense, low-latency links between switches, routers, and optical transport systems. The module integrates seamlessly with Extreme Networks hardware and remains compatible with standard 100GBASE-LR4 optics in multi‑vendor environments, providing a flexible upgrade path that preserves performance, reliability, and investment. Ideal for spine‑leaf architectures, metro networks, and high‑demand enterprise backbones, this CFP2 optical module combines robust engineering with easy deployment for busy data centers and network operators who demand consistent, predictable throughput.

  • High-capacity 100GBASE-LR4 performance — The module supports 100 Gbps data transfer using LR4, delivering four 25 Gbps lanes over a single transceiver to maximize bandwidth across long‑distance links. It’s designed to minimize latency and maximize throughput, enabling dense uplinks and high‑volume interconnects without compromising reliability or efficiency.
  • LR4 over single‑mode fiber — Optimized for long reach, with a 1310 nm wavelength and LC duplex optical interface for robust, low‑noise transmission up to 10 kilometers on SMF. This enables scalable data center interconnects, campus backbones, and metro links with fewer regenerators and easier fiber management.
  • CFP2 form factor with hot‑swappable design — A compact, hot‑pluggable module that fits CFP2 slots in supported Extreme Networks gear, enabling easy field upgrades with minimal downtime and simple maintenance while preserving front‑panel density and serviceability.
  • LC duplex connectors for reliable fiber connections — The module uses standard LC duplex connectors, ensuring compatibility with widely used single‑mode patch cables and fiber management ecosystems, along with low insertion loss, consistent performance, and straightforward installation.
  • MSA‑compliant and interoperable — Built to industry standards, interoperating with other 100GBASE‑LR4 devices and network equipment that adhere to the CFP2 MSA and IEEE 802.3 100GBASE‑LR4 specifications, supporting a flexible, multi‑vendor network strategy while preserving reliability.

how to install Extreme Networks CFP2 100GBASE-LR4 Optical Module

  • Power down the host or verify hot‑swap capability and follow your device’s service manual before installation to ensure safe handling and proper seating of the module.
  • Open the transceiver slot or slot cover on the Extreme Networks chassis and align the CFP2 module with the connector guide; insert firmly until the module seats and latches securely, then verify the device recognizes the new module.
  • Remove protective caps from the LC fiber connectors and inspect the fiber ends for cleanliness; if needed, clean with proper fiber cleaning tools to prevent insertion loss and optimize link quality.
  • Connect the LC duplex fiber pair (TX to RX cross‑connection if required by your network design) and route fibers to patch panels or optical jacks, ensuring proper bend radius, tidy cable management, and protection from damage.
  • Power on the device (or confirm hot‑swapped operation) and verify link status and remote end detection via management software or the device CLI; perform throughput tests to confirm 100 Gbps operation and monitor for any errors or alarms.
