The Cisco CFP2-to-CPAK port adapter provides the ability to use the pluggable Cisco CPAK 100GBASE Module in any Cisco platform with a CFP2 client port. The Cisco CPAK module is the lowest power consuming pluggable 100G module available in a variety of IEEE standard optical interfaces from 100GBASE-SR10 to 100GBASE-ER4L. Some platforms may even be able to take advantage of CPAK and Cisco AnyPort breakout technology, enabling 10G, 40G or 100G interconnects to a 100G port.
