The C form-factor pluggable (CFP) is a multi-source agreement to produce a common form-factor for the transmission high-speed digital signals. The c stands for the Latin letter C used to express the number 100 (centum), as the standard was primarily developed for 100Gb Ethernet systems.


CFP standardization

The CFP transceiver is specified by a multi-source agreement (MSA) between competing manufacturers. The CFP was designed after the SFP interface, but is significantly larger to support 100Gb using 10 lanes in each direction (RX, TX) with 10Gb/s each. [1]
