About This Part
The Finisar FTLF8528P2BNV is a high-performance, hot-pluggable Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) transceiver module engineered for demanding 8.5 Gigabit Fibre Channel (8GFC) applications. This module, manufactured by Finisar, adheres to industry standards such as SFF-8431, SFF-8432, and Fibre Channel specifications, ensuring interoperability within diverse network environments. Operating at an 8.5 Gbps data rate, it typically utilizes an 850nm wavelength VCSEL laser for short-reach multi-mode fibre connections, commonly supporting distances up to 300 meters over OM3 fibre. Its primary function is to provide reliable, high-bandwidth optical connectivity, facilitating efficient data transfer in storage area networks (SANs) and high-performance computing (HPC) clusters. The SFP+ form factor ensures a compact footprint and low power consumption, critical for modern data centre infrastructure. This Part Number FTLF8528P2BNV transceiver is predominantly deployed in enterprise data centres, cloud service provider facilities, and large-scale storage networks. It serves as a crucial component for connecting Fibre Channel host bus adapters (HBAs) to Fibre Channel switches, or for inter-switch links, enabling the high-speed communication required for mission-critical applications, virtualized environments, and data-intensive workloads. Industries such as finance, healthcare, media, and telecommunications heavily rely on such modules to ensure rapid access to stored data and maintain robust storage infrastructure. It effectively solves bandwidth bottlenecks in storage networks, providing a significant upgrade path from slower 4GFC or 2GFC modules, thereby enhancing overall system performance and responsiveness.
