About the Finisar FTLF8528P2BCV
The Finisar FTLF8528P2BCV (now a Coherent Corp. product, formerly II-VI) is a SFP+ 8GFC shortwave (Gen-1) optical transceiver for 8.5 Gb/s links at 850nm over Duplex MMF LC, with reach up to 150m OM3. It is a commercial-temperature part. It belongs to Finisar's FTLF8528 family, which has 4 orderable variants that differ by temperature grade, latch, receiver build or wavelength channel. This is a legacy Finisar part; we help buyers find remaining stock or a current Coherent alternative. Typical uses: 8G Fibre Channel storage networks.
- Up to 8.5 Gb/s bi-directional data links
- Hot-pluggable SFP+ footprint
- Built-in digital diagnostic functions
- 850nm Oxide VCSEL laser transmitter
- Metal enclosure, for lower EMI
- < 0.5W power dissipation
FTLF8528P2BCV: frequently asked questions
What is the Finisar FTLF8528P2BCV?
The FTLF8528P2BCV is a Finisar SFP+ transceiver for 8GFC shortwave (Gen-1) at 8.5 Gb/s. Finisar is now part of Coherent Corp. (formerly II-VI), and the part number is unchanged. It is used for 8G Fibre Channel storage networks.
What is the maximum distance of the FTLF8528P2BCV?
The FTLF8528P2BCV is specified for up to 150m OM3 over Duplex MMF 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 FTLF8528P2BCV?
Per the Finisar family datasheet, the FTLF8528P2BCV transmits −8.2 to −2 dBm and has a receiver sensitivity of 49 µW @2.125G, 61 µW @4.25G, 76 µW @8.5G (OMA). Maximum receiver input is 0 dBm (max input).
Does the FTLF8528P2BCV support DDM / digital diagnostics?
Yes. Digital diagnostics per SFF-8472 via 2-wire serial interface. Your switch can read live temperature, voltage, laser bias and Tx/Rx power.
Which fiber and connector does the FTLF8528P2BCV use?
The FTLF8528P2BCV works at 850nm over Duplex MMF LC. Both ends of a link must use the same optical standard.
Will the FTLF8528P2BCV work in my Cisco, Juniper, Arista or HPE switch?
The FTLF8528P2BCV follows the SFP+ 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.
FTLF8528P2BCV vs FTLF8528P3BCV: what is the difference?
Both are in Finisar's FTLF8528 family. They differ in reach (150m OM3 vs 150m OM3 (100m per table)); build / application (8GFC shortwave (Gen-1) vs 8GFC/4GFC/2GFC shortwave). Pick the variant that matches your temperature, latch and wavelength needs.
What temperature range is the FTLF8528P2BCV rated for?
The FTLF8528P2BCV is a commercial-temperature part. Choose an industrial (T) variant for outdoor or uncontrolled sites.
What does the FTLF8528P2BCV 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 the FTLF8528P2BCV still available?
The FTLF8528P2BCV is a legacy Finisar part, so new production is limited or ended. Next Gen Networks helps source remaining genuine stock and can suggest a current Coherent alternative with the same reach and wavelength.
What is the FTLF8528P2BCV price in India and how do I order?
The Finisar FTLF8528P2BCV 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 FTLF8528P2BCV need?
It runs from 3.3 V (3.15–3.45 V) with power dissipation of < 0.5 W (supply current 180 mA).
