Finisar FTLF8528P3BNV 8G Fibre Channel SFP+ Optical Transceiver

The Finisar FTLF8528P3BNV 8G Fibre Channel SFP+ Optical Transceiver is a high-performance 8 Gbps Fibre Channel (8GFC) optical transceiver designed for short-reach multimode fiber links in enterprise storage and SAN (Storage Area Network) environments. It supports tri-rate 2.125/4.25/8.5 Gbps Fibre Channel data transmission and delivers reliable, low-latency connectivity over multimode fiber up to 150 m at 850 nm wavelength.

Key Features

• 8 Gbps Fibre Channel Support – Tri-rate 2.125/4.25/8.5 Gb/s for flexible SAN use.
• Short-Reach (SWL) Optical Link – Up to ~150 m over high-bandwidth multimode fiber (OM3).
• 850 nm VCSEL Transmitter – Standard short-wavelength optics for MMF.
• SFP+ Form Factor – Hot-pluggable and compact for easy deployment.
• Duplex LC Connector – Standard optical interface for fiber cabling.
• Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) – Real-time performance feedback.
• Low Power & Extended Temp Range – Efficient operation with -5 °C to 85 °C range.

How to Install Finisar 8G Fibre Channel SFP+ Optical Transceiver

Installing the Finisar FTLF8528P3BNV SFP+ transceiver is easy:

1. Power off the device (optional but recommended).
2. Locate an empty SFP+ port on your switch, SAN device, or HBA.
3. Remove dust caps from the transceiver and fiber cable ends.
4. Insert the module gently into the SFP+ slot until it clicks.
5. Connect the LC multimode fiber cable with correct polarity.
6. Power on the device (if powered off).
7. Check link status via CLI or management interface.

This module is hot-pluggable, meaning you can install or remove it while the system is running in most supported devices.

Compatibility

This transceiver is compatible with:

• Fibre Channel switches and directors supporting 8GFC
• Enterprise SAN storage systems
• Servers and HBAs with SFP+ Fibre Channel ports
• Multimode fiber infrastructure (OM3/OM4)

 Note: Fibre Channel optics operate on FC protocols, not Ethernet, so ensure your hardware supports FC optics.

Best Applications

• Storage Area Network (SAN) links
• Server-to-switch Fibre Channel uplinks
• Switch-to-switch optical interconnects
• Data center storage fabrics
• High-speed backup and replication networks
