Product Description
This Cisco® CFP-100G-ER4 compatible CFP transceiver provides 100GBase-ER4 throughput up to 40km over
single-mode fiber (SMF) using a wavelength of 1310nm via an LC connector. It is guaranteed to be 100%
compatible with the equivalent Cisco® transceiver. This easy to install, hot swappable transceiver has been
programmed, uniquely serialized and data-traffic and application tested to ensure that it will initialize and
perform identically. Digital optical monitoring (DOM) support is also present to allow access to real-time
operating parameters. This transceiver is Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliant. We stand behind the quality
of our products and proudly offer a limited lifetime warranty.

ProLabs’ transceivers are RoHS compliant and lead-free.

TAA refers to the Trade Agreements Act (19 U.S.C. & 2501-2581), which is intended to
foster fair and open international trade. TAA requires that the U.S. Government may
acquire only “U.S. – made or designated country end products.”
