Specifications

Applications and Optical Link Design

Use this module for equipment interconnection over the specified single-mode fiber plant, including enterprise backbone, campus, metro or data-center interconnect links according to its rated distance. Confirm that both ends use the same optical standard and wavelength plan, and allow for connector, splice and patch-panel loss within the stated power budget.

Before deployment, check the host port type, supported data rate and firmware requirements. The 100G interface configuration must match the remote equipment; sharing a CFP housing alone does not make two transceiver types interoperable.

Before commissioning, measure the complete single-mode channel against the stated budget for 10km. Inspect every connection and record diagnostic power where supported. Both ends must agree on rate, wavelength and optical standard.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Quality control covers the optical or electrical interface, host identification and operating link. The verified unit is then individually protected and cartoned. Customer references, rack groups and project packing lists can be added for volume orders.

Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling

Use the electrical and optical limits in the specification table as the acceptance reference for this model. During commissioning, record the host diagnostic readings after the link has stabilized and compare them with those limits. DOM values are useful operational indicators, but they do not replace calibrated optical measurements when a link is marginal. Investigate unexpected loss through connector inspection, cleaning and a channel measurement before replacing the module. Before every insertion, keep dust caps in place until the patch lead is ready, avoid touching the optical end face and use an appropriate inspection and cleaning procedure. Do not look into an active optical interface.

High-Density Port and Thermal Planning

In a densely populated chassis, connector access and airflow form part of the optical-link design. Confirm that neighboring modules and patch leads leave room for latch operation, and include listed power consumption in the host thermal budget. Assess port density together with fiber management. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 103.1 Gbp, wavelength 1310nm, rated reach 10km.

Ordering Information

Quote HT part number CFP-LR4-100G together with OEM reference CFP-100GBASE-LR4 and quantity. Add the host model and software release when pre-order verification is required. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.

Arista Networks Compatibility and Factory Testing

Factory verification starts with the expected CFP-100GBASE-LR4 identity and finishes with an operating host link. EEPROM data, diagnostic visibility and the stated optical parameters are assessed together. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.
