Cisco offers Digital CFP2 transceivers. Cisco already offers a range of analog CFP2 transceivers. With the analog version, the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) chip resided on the line card and was therefore custom to it, while the pluggable module only had transceiver capabilities. With the digital version of the same, both the DSP and the transceiver module reside in the pluggable itself. Therefore, this digital CFP2 pluggable that is more complete and compact, could be used across all platforms with the CFP2 interface.
