P222 / Pluggable I/O / Connector

CFP2 host connector form

CFP2 uses a 104-position pluggable-I/O connector form in the documented Amphenol series.

Also called CFP2 CFP2 connector CFP2 cage

CFP2 form factor identity does not by itself establish the optical module type or implemented link standard.

Look for

Confirm the host cage/module label and form-factor documentation before treating a pluggable module as CFP2.

The useful distinction

Recognize it. Then verify it.

CFP2 uses a 104-position pluggable-I/O connector form in the documented Amphenol series. [C222A]

Exact source example P222: construction: 104positions;insert-moulded top-contact assemblies with press-fit cage system. durability cycles: 200. voltage vdc: 3.3. Complete ordering suffix not selected;cage/heat-sink option dimensions and3mmPCBthickness are not connector envelope.; Port count1x1/1x2/1x4 is cage port count,not contact row count. No row count inferred. No physical compatibility, pin map or hardware validation is established. [C222C]

Unknown fields stay unknown; illustrations supply no measurements or pin assignments.

Recorded variant and source limits
  • Position/contact count and any example-component pitch do not establish a universal pinout, cable construction or protocol capability.
  • No fabrication dimensions or face-view pin locator is published unless explicitly stated.
  • Prior view context (not a source-view value): Position count is published without a V40 mating-face numbering locator.

Mechanical dimensionsNo independently reviewed mechanical drawing in V39; do not use this page for fabrication, fit testing or tolerance work.
Engineering pinoutSource-checked engineering profile available; independent review pending. Open engineering profile →
Verified device listNot included. Check exact device and accessory documentation.
A boundary, not an omission to guess around.

Use the source-backed form or position count only for identification. Resolve ratings, protocol, direction, wiring, cable construction and exact device support from the relevant equipment and component documentation.

Before you connect

What to check

  1. Identify the exact connector family and variant from the equipment or cable documentation.
  2. Keep shape, contact count, protocol, electrical rating and device support as separate facts.
  3. Do not force, rewire or adapt a connector from this recognition record; resolve the remaining requirements first.
Trace a supported connection class →

What is not established

This field note does not approve a connection, adapter, cable assembly, rewiring scheme or fabricated part. It intentionally omits unsupported pin assignments and mechanical tolerances.
