The useful distinction
Recognize it. Then verify it.
CFP4 uses a 56-position compact pluggable-I/O connector form in the documented Amphenol series. [C223A]
Exact source example P223: construction: 56positions;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. [C223C]
Source-scoped identification facts
Each value retains its exact example, role and measurement axis. Facts from different parts must not be combined into an invented component.

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.
Bounded facts, visible unknowns
Specifications and limits
| Documented identification | CFP4 56-position host connector form. [C223A] |
|---|---|
| Mechanical dimensions | No independently reviewed mechanical drawing in V39; do not use this page for fabrication, fit testing or tolerance work. |
| Engineering pinout | Source-checked engineering profile available; independent review pending. Open engineering profile → |
| Verified device list | Not included. Check exact device and accessory documentation. |
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
- Identify the exact connector family and variant from the equipment or cable documentation.
- Keep shape, contact count, protocol, electrical rating and device support as separate facts.
- Do not force, rewire or adapt a connector from this recognition record; resolve the remaining requirements first.
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.
