Finisar FTLF8528P3BNV SFP+ 8GFC Fibre Channel transceiver-module, 850nm, LC duplex, multi-mode, 300m

The Finisar FTLF8528P3BNV is a high-performance SFP+ transceiver module designed for 8 Gigabit Fibre Channel (8GFC) applications in Storage Area Networks (SAN) and Fibre Channel switches. It operates at 850nm wavelength over multi-mode fiber (MMF) and supports distances up to 300m on OM3 fiber. With low power consumption (<1W) and digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM), this hot-pluggable module ensures reliable, high-speed connectivity for enterprise storage environments.

Advantages

This Finisar transceiver delivers exceptional performance and reliability for 8GFC networks. Its VCSEL transmitter and PIN receiver provide efficient optical conversion, while DDM enables real-time monitoring of operating parameters. The compact SFP+ form factor allows high-density port configurations, and the module is fully compliant with SFP+ MSA and RoHS-6 standards, ensuring interoperability and environmental compliance.
