About This Part
The Finisar FTLC9551REPM-HW is a high-performance 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) optical transceiver designed for short-reach data center interconnects. This module, typically in a QSFP28 form factor, belongs to Finisar's extensive portfolio of high-speed optical solutions. It provides a full-duplex 100Gbps link over four parallel lanes of multimode fiber, with each lane operating at 25Gbps. Utilizing an 850nm wavelength VCSEL array for transmission and a PIN photodiode array for reception, the Part Number FTLC9551REPM-HW adheres to the IEEE 802.3bm 100GBASE-SR4 standard, ensuring robust interoperability. It features an MTP/MPO-12 connector, optimized for connecting to OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber, achieving distances of up to 70 meters on OM3 and 100 meters on OM4 fiber. Its low power consumption and high density are critical attributes for modern data center environments requiring efficient, high-bandwidth connectivity. This Finisar 100G SR4 transceiver is primarily deployed within hyperscale data centers, large enterprise networks, and high-performance computing (HPC) clusters. It is essential for linking switches, routers, and servers over short distances, typically within a single rack or between adjacent racks. Common installations include spine-leaf architectures, connecting Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches to aggregation or core switches, and facilitating high-bandwidth server uplinks. Industries benefiting from this technology include cloud service providers, financial institutions, research facilities, and any organization requiring robust, low-latency 100GbE connectivity. It effectively solves the challenge of increasing data traffic demands by providing a cost-effective and high-density solution for intra-data center links, often replacing multiple lower-speed connections or enabling upgrades from 10GbE or 40GbE infrastructures to meet next-generation bandwidth requirements without extensive fiber plant overhauls.
