FTL4C1QE3C: frequently asked questions
What is the Finisar FTL4C1QE3C?
The FTL4C1QE3C is a Finisar QSFP+ transceiver for 40GBASE-LR4 Gen3 at 40 Gb/s. Finisar is now part of Coherent Corp. (formerly II-VI), and the part number is unchanged. It is used for 40G Ethernet aggregation, spine links and 4 × 10G breakout.
What is the maximum distance of the FTL4C1QE3C?
The FTL4C1QE3C is specified for up to 10km over SMF duplex (LC). 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 FTL4C1QE3C?
Per the Finisar family datasheet, the FTL4C1QE3C transmits −7.0 to 2.3 dBm avg per lane and has a receiver sensitivity of −11.5 dBm OMA per lane (stressed −9.6 dBm, QE3C). Maximum receiver input is Damage threshold 3.4 dBm per lane.
Does the FTL4C1QE3C support DDM / digital diagnostics?
Yes. Built-in digital diagnostics incl. Tx/Rx power monitoring (I2C per QSFP+ MSA). Your switch can read live temperature, voltage, laser bias and Tx/Rx power.
Which fiber and connector does the FTL4C1QE3C use?
The FTL4C1QE3C works at CWDM 1271-1331nm over SMF duplex (LC). CWDM/DWDM optics must match the channel of your mux/demux port. Both ends of a link must use the same optical standard.
Will the FTL4C1QE3C work in my Cisco, Juniper, Arista or HPE switch?
The FTL4C1QE3C follows the QSFP+ 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.
FTL4C1QE3C vs FTL4C1QL1L: what is the difference?
Both are in Finisar's FTL4C1 family. They differ in reach (10km vs 2km); build / application (40GBASE-LR4 Gen3 vs 40GBASE-LR4 Lite Gen2). Pick the variant that matches your temperature, latch and wavelength needs.
What temperature range is the FTL4C1QE3C rated for?
The FTL4C1QE3C is a commercial-temperature part. Choose an industrial (T) variant for outdoor or uncontrolled sites.
What does the FTL4C1QE3C part number mean?
The FTL4 prefix marks Finisar's 40G QSFP+ family. The C letter in the suffix usually marks the commercial temperature grade. The remaining characters identify the optical design and build variant.
Is your FTL4C1QE3C 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 FTL4C1QE3C price in India and how do I order?
The Finisar FTL4C1QE3C 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 FTL4C1QE3C need?
It runs from 3.3 V (3.1–3.47 V) with power dissipation of < 3.5 W (QW2N: < 2.8 W).
