FTLF8556D1BCV: frequently asked questions
What is the Finisar FTLF8556D1BCV?
The FTLF8556D1BCV is a Finisar SFP56 transceiver for 50GBASE-SR PAM4 (50/25GbE, bail) at 50 Gb/s. Finisar is now part of Coherent Corp. (formerly II-VI), and the part number is unchanged. It is used for 50G Ethernet server and edge links.
What is the maximum distance of the FTLF8556D1BCV?
The FTLF8556D1BCV is specified for up to 100m (OM4) over MMF. Long-reach optics may need an attenuator on short links; we can advise based on your link loss.
What is the optical power budget of the FTLF8556D1BCV?
Per the Finisar family datasheet, the FTLF8556D1BCV transmits −6.5 to +4 dBm avg (50G); OMA −4.5 to +3 dBm and has a receiver sensitivity of −6.5 dBm OMA (50G). Maximum receiver input is +4 dBm.
Does the FTLF8556D1BCV support DDM / digital diagnostics?
Yes. SFF-8472 digital diagnostics, 2-wire. Your switch can read live temperature, voltage, laser bias and Tx/Rx power.
Which fiber and connector does the FTLF8556D1BCV use?
The FTLF8556D1BCV works at 850nm over MMF. Both ends of a link must use the same optical standard.
Will the FTLF8556D1BCV work in my Cisco, Juniper, Arista or HPE switch?
The FTLF8556D1BCV follows the SFP56 MSA, so it fits any matching port. It carries Finisar's own EEPROM programming; switches that check the module vendor may need a configuration setting or a vendor-branded optic. Send us your switch model and we confirm before dispatch.
FTLF8556D1BCV vs FTLF8556E1BCL: what is the difference?
Both are in Finisar's FTLF8556 family. They differ in build / application (50GBASE-SR PAM4 (50/25GbE, bail) vs 50GBASE-SR PAM4 (50GbE only, bail)). Pick the variant that matches your temperature, latch and wavelength needs.
What temperature range is the FTLF8556D1BCV rated for?
The FTLF8556D1BCV is a commercial-temperature part. Choose an industrial (T) variant for outdoor or uncontrolled sites.
What does the FTLF8556D1BCV part number mean?
The FTLF prefix marks Finisar's SFP / SFP28 / SFP56 family (incl. Fibre Channel). The C letter in the suffix usually marks the commercial temperature grade. The remaining characters identify the optical design and build variant.
Is your FTLF8556D1BCV genuine Finisar?
Yes. Next Gen Networks supplies original Finisar / Coherent modules, not third-party lookalikes or grey-market stock, and shares serial numbers on request.
What is the FTLF8556D1BCV price in India and how do I order?
The Finisar FTLF8556D1BCV price in India depends on quantity, delivery city and current stock. Next Gen Networks supplies it with a GST invoice (input tax credit ready) and pan-India dispatch from New Delhi. Send the part number, quantity and delivery city on WhatsApp +91-7827955775 or email Sales@nextgennetworks.in for a GST quote.
What power does the FTLF8556D1BCV need?
It runs from 3.3 V (3.14–3.46 V) with power dissipation of < 1.5 W (478 mA).
