About This Part
The Finisar FTLC9551REPM-AB is a high-performance 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) optical transceiver module, specifically designed for short-reach data communication and interconnect applications. As part of Finisar's extensive portfolio of optical networking components, this module typically adheres to the QSFP28 (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable 28) form factor, a widely adopted standard for 100G interfaces due to its compact size and power efficiency. Its primary function is to enable high-speed data transmission over multimode fiber optic cables. Key technical specifications include a data rate of 100 Gbps, operating according to the IEEE 802.3bm 100GBASE-SR4 standard. It utilizes an 850nm wavelength VCSEL array, transmitting over four parallel optical lanes, each carrying 25 Gbps. This configuration allows for a maximum reach of 100 meters over OM4 multimode fiber or 70 meters over OM3 multimode fiber, making it ideal for intra-data center links. The module features an MTP/MPO-12 connector, providing a robust and high-density parallel optical interface. The Finisar FTLC9551REPM-AB transceiver is predominantly deployed within hyperscale data centers, enterprise networks, and high-performance computing (HPC) environments where high-density, short-distance 100GbE connectivity is crucial. It is commonly installed in network switches, routers, and server network interface cards (NICs) that feature QSFP28 ports, facilitating high-bandwidth connections between servers and top-of-rack (ToR) switches, or between aggregation switches within a data center fabric. Cloud service providers, telecommunications operators, and large enterprises leverage this module to address escalating bandwidth demands, eliminate network bottlenecks, and support critical applications requiring low latency and high throughput. This transceiver effectively replaces lower-speed 10GbE or 40GbE links, providing a significant upgrade path for existing infrastructure or enabling the deployment of new, future-proof 100GbE networks. Its robust design ensures reliable operation in demanding environments. Revo Distribution Limited specializes in providing B2B clients with cost-effective infrastructure solutions through its extensive inventory of used and refurbished telecom and data center equipment.
