CFP optics

The 100 GbE interface module is 802.3ba compliant, supports CFP-based optics, and is backwards-compatible with existing Brocade MLX and Brocade NetIron XMR interface modules. This interface module requires high-speed fabric modules. 100GbE interface modules will boot in turbo mode if all modules in the chassis are Gen-2 modules.

You must insert CFP-compliant fiber-optic transceivers in each port you intend to use. CFP-compliant transceivers provide an optical or physical medium-dependent (PMD) interface for single- or multi-mode fiber that can be used with either the LAN physical layer (PHY) or WAN physical layer (WAN PHY).

For a list of supported 100xGbE CFP-compliant fiber-optic transceivers that are available from Brocade, refer to the latest version of the Brocade Optics Family Data Sheet, available online in the following location:

For more information about fiber-optic transceivers and associated cabling, refer to “Installing a fiber-optic transceiver” on page 318.
