Finisar FTLF8528P3BCV-QL Fiber Channel SFP Plus Transceiver

The Finisar FTLF8528P3BCV-QL is an 8 Gb/s Fibre Channel SFP+ optical transceiver designed for short-reach data-center fibre links, delivering 8 Gbit/s Fibre Channel transmission over multimode fiber. It operates at 850 nm on MMF, uses an LC duplex connector, and conforms to the Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) standard with hot-swappable installation for straightforward deployment in modern storage and networking hardware. This module supports Fibre Channel standards and is intended for enterprise fabrics, where low-latency, high-availability optical connectivity is critical. Typical reach is up to 150 meters on OM3/OM4 fiber, enabling reliable links between SAN switches, blade servers, and storage arrays across racks and rows within a data center. Common applications include storage area networks, backup and replication systems, and high-availability clustered environments that require dependable, short-range optical connectivity to move mission-critical storage traffic. In practice, it serves as a drop-in 8 Gb FC solution for data center upgrades, link replacements, and capacity expansion, helping organizations refresh older infrastructure without overhauling their Fibre Channel fabric.
