FTLF8532P5BCV

• 850nm Oxide VCSEL Optical Source
• Multimode Fibre (MMF) Optical Transceiver
• SFP+ Pluggable Form Factor
• Maximum Data Rate Recorded as 10Gb/s; Product Name Cites 28.05Gb/S for 8x/16x/32x Fibre Channel
• RoHS Compliant

The Finisar Corporation FTLF8532P5BCV is a multimode fibre optical transceiver module built on an 850nm oxide VCSEL and supplied in the SFP+ form factor. The attribute record specifies a maximum data rate of 10Gb/s, while the product name describes 8x/16x/32x Fibre Channel operation at 28.05Gb/s; these figures disagree and both are reproduced here as recorded. The module is designed for short-reach links over multimode fibre and is RoHS compliant. Attribute coverage on this record is limited to four fields.

The FTLF8532P5BCV is used for short-reach optical links inside data centres and storage area networks. An 850nm VCSEL over multimode fibre is the standard low-cost approach for runs measured in tens to a few hundred metres, so modules of this class populate Fibre Channel storage fabrics, switch and director line cards, host bus adapters, and top-of-rack to server links. Storage array vendors, SAN integrators and enterprise data centre operators are the typical buyers. Because this record carries only four attributes and its recorded data rate conflicts with the product name, confirm the exact Fibre Channel speed grade and reach against the manufacturer datasheet before designing it in.
