Specifications

Applications and Optical Link Design

Typical deployments include switch-to-switch, switch-to-server and aggregation links inside a data hall or between adjacent equipment rooms. The MTP/MPO-24 interface connects to the specified multimode cabling, and the stated reach depends on fiber grade and link loss. Keep this interface on the matching multimode optical standard rather than connecting it directly to a single-mode wavelength or reach variant.

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

For this multimode module, confirm fiber grade, modal bandwidth and total loss before commissioning. The 150m on OM4, 100m on OM3 figure applies only under suitable cabling conditions. Inspect every MTP/MPO-24 mating point and match the remote optical standard.

Arista Networks Compatibility and Factory Testing

Compatibility testing for CXP-100G-SR10 combines identification with a live link and available transmit, receive and alarm information. Connector condition is inspected separately. Equipment model, hardware revision and software release can be reviewed before dispatch where platform behavior is uncertain.

Optical Acceptance, Diagnostics and Handling

For this model, the specified transmit-power range is -7.6~2.4dBm. 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. Diagnostic monitoring is listed as Supported. 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.

Interoperability and Host Configuration

Check three layers before deployment: host acceptance of the module identity, port support for the stated rate, and a matching optical standard at the remote interface. For breakout operation, confirm lane configuration too. Similar-looking cages can behave differently across speeds and firmware settings. For this model, the principal parameters are data rate 120 Gbp, wavelength 850nm, rated reach 150m on OM4, 100m on OM3.

Ordering Information

Use CXP-100G-SR10 as the compatibility cross-reference and CXP-SR10-100G as the HT ordering identity. Keep other reaches or wavelength directions on separate order lines. Neutral labels, customer packaging and project-specific compatibility review are available on request.

Shipping and Lead Time

Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production lead times confirmed for larger quantities. International courier, air freight and sea freight are available; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.

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.
