About This Part
The Finisar FTLX8511D3-H3C is a high-performance 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) SFP+ optical transceiver designed for short-reach data communication and interconnect applications. As part of Finisar's renowned SFP+ product family, this hot-pluggable module features an 850nm VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) transmitter and a PIN receiver, enabling reliable data transmission over multimode fiber. Specifically, the Part Number FTLX8511D3-H3C adheres to the IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-SR standard, supporting link lengths of up to 300 meters when utilized with OM3 multimode fiber, or up to 400 meters with OM4 fiber. Its compact SFP+ form factor ensures high port density and low power consumption, making it an efficient solution for high-speed network infrastructure. The module integrates a duplex LC connector for optical interfacing and offers digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM) capabilities, allowing real-time access to operating parameters such as optical output power, optical input power, temperature, laser bias current, and transceiver supply voltage. This robust design ensures optimal performance and simplified network management in demanding environments. This Finisar SFP+ transceiver is primarily deployed within data centers, enterprise networks, and storage area networks (SANs) where high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity is critical. It serves as a vital component for connecting servers to top-of-rack (ToR) switches, interconnecting core and distribution layer switches, and facilitating high-speed links between various network devices equipped with SFP+ ports. Industries such as telecommunications, cloud computing, financial services, and large-scale research institutions frequently leverage this type of module to build resilient and scalable network backbones. The FTLX8511D3-H3C effectively solves the challenge of achieving 10GbE connectivity over distances that exceed the practical limits of direct attach copper (DAC) cables, while offering a more cost-effective and flexible alternative to longer-reach single-mode fiber solutions for short-to-medium distances. It is an essential upgrade path for networks transitioning from 1GbE to 10GbE, providing the necessary throughput for modern high-performance computing and data-intensive applications.
