Finisar FTLF8529P3BCV 16G Fibre Channel SFP+ 100m Optical Transceiver

Finisar FTLF8529P3BCV 16G Fibre Channel SFP+ 100 m Optical Transceiver

The Finisar FTLF8529P3BCV 16G Fibre Channel SFP+ Transceiver is a high-performance 16 Gbps Fibre Channel (16GFC) SFP+ optical transceiver designed for short-reach multimode fiber (MMF) links in enterprise SAN (Storage Area Network) and data center environments. It supports data rates up to 14.025 Gbps with tri-rate capabilities and delivers reliable, low-latency connectivity up to 100 m over OM3/OM4 multimode fiber using an 850 nm wavelength.

Key Features

• Up to 16 Gbps Fibre Channel Speed — Supports tri-rate 4.25/8.5/14.025 Gbps Fibre Channel links.
• Short-Reach (SW) — Works up to 100 m on high-bandwidth multimode fiber (OM3/OM4).
• 850 nm VCSEL Laser — Optimized for short-wavelength multimode fiber.
• SFP+ Hot-Pluggable Form Factor — Easy to install without powering down.
• Duplex LC Connector — Standard fiber interface.
• Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) — Real-time monitoring of optical performance.
• RoHS Compliant — Environmentally friendly and lead-free.

How to Install Finisar 16G Fibre Channel SFP+ 100m Optical Transceiver

Installing the Finisar FTLF8529P3BCV transceiver is quick and straightforward:

1. Power off the device (optional but recommended).
2. Locate an empty SFP+ port on your Fibre Channel switch, SAN device, or HBA.
3. Remove dust caps from the transceiver and fiber cable ends.
4. Insert the transceiver 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. Verify link status via CLI or switch management interface.

This module is hot-pluggable, meaning it can be inserted or removed while the system is running in most supported hardware.

Compatibility

This optical transceiver is compatible with:

• Fibre Channel SAN switches and directors supporting 16GFC
• Servers and Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) with SFP+ FC ports
• Enterprise storage systems
• Multimode fiber (OM3/OM4) infrastructure

Fibre Channel optics use FC protocols and won’t work in standard Ethernet-only SFP+ ports unless the device explicitly supports Fibre Channel.

Best Applications

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