About This Part
The Finisar FTLC8281xCNM is a high-performance C form-factor Pluggable (CFP) optical transceiver designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) and Optical Transport Network (OTN) applications. This module, identified by Part Number FTLC8281xCNM, facilitates short-reach data transmission, specifically adhering to the 100GBASE-SR10 standard. It operates over multimode fiber, providing reliable connectivity for distances up to 100 meters. The transceiver utilizes multiple parallel optical lanes, typically employing a 10x10Gbps architecture, to achieve the aggregated 100Gbps data rate. Its multirate capability also supports OTU4 for OTN deployments, making it versatile for various high-bandwidth networking requirements within data centers and enterprise networks. The CFP form factor, while larger than newer QSFP28 modules, was a foundational technology for early 100G deployments, offering robust performance and power efficiency for its generation. The Finisar FTLC8281xCNM transceiver is primarily deployed in high-density data center interconnects, enterprise campus networks, and service provider aggregation points where 100GbE or OTN connectivity is required over short distances. It is commonly installed in core routers, high-capacity switches, and optical transport platforms from leading network equipment manufacturers. This module enables critical upgrades from 10GbE or 40GbE infrastructure to 100GbE, addressing the escalating demand for bandwidth driven by cloud computing, virtualization, and big data analytics. It solves the challenge of connecting network devices within racks or across adjacent racks in large-scale data centers, providing the necessary throughput for server-to-server, switch-to-switch, and switch-to-router links. Industries such as telecommunications, financial services, and hyperscale cloud providers extensively utilize such modules to maintain high-performance, low-latency network backbones.
