The Finisar FTLF8528P3BCV-HD is a high-performance Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP+) optical transceiver designed for 8 Gigabit Fibre Channel (8GFC) applications. It is engineered to support a multi-rate interface with auto-sensing capabilities for 8.5, 4.25, and 2.125 Gbps Fibre Channel speeds (2x/4x/8x), ensuring full backward compatibility with legacy storage infrastructures. The module operates at a nominal wavelength of 850nm over multi-mode fiber (MMF), utilizing a high-reliability Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) as its optical transmitter.The unit features a standard duplex LC connector and supports link distances of up to 150 meters on OM3 multi-mode fiber and up to 190 meters on OM4 fiber. The "HD" designation indicates specific hardware and firmware optimization for high-density telecommunications and storage environments, often associated with Hitachi or other major OEM systems. The FTLF8528P3BCV-HD fully supports Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) according to the SFF-8472 standard, providing real-time monitoring of transceiver temperature, laser bias current, transmitted optical power, and received optical power. This hot-swappable module is optimized for low power consumption and high electromagnetic interference (EMI) resistance, complying with the SFP+ Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) and meeting Class 1 laser safety standards.
