FWLF1634RL53: frequently asked questions
What is the Finisar FWLF1634RL53?
The FWLF1634RL53 is a Finisar SFP transceiver for DWDM 4.25G FC / 2.5G, APD rx (non-rate-select) at up to 4.25 Gb/s. Finisar is now part of Coherent Corp. (formerly II-VI), and the part number is unchanged. It is used for Gigabit Ethernet, 1/2/4G Fibre Channel SAN, SONET OC-48 / STM-16 and CWDM/DWDM metro links.
What is the maximum distance of the FWLF1634RL53?
The FWLF1634RL53 is specified for up to 80km over SMF. 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 FWLF1634RL53?
Per the Finisar family datasheet, the FWLF1634RL53 transmits +2 to +5 dBm and has a receiver sensitivity of −28 dBm @2.5 Gb/s; −23 dBm @4.25 Gb/s (BER<10⁻¹²). Maximum receiver input is −9 dBm; damage threshold +6 dBm.
Does the FWLF1634RL53 support DDM / digital diagnostics?
Yes. Digital diagnostics per Finisar AN-2030; enhanced features per DWDM SFP MSA (A2h: laser current, temperature, Tx/Rx power). Your switch can read live temperature, voltage, laser bias and Tx/Rx power.
Which fiber and connector does the FWLF1634RL53 use?
The FWLF1634RL53 works at 1535.04nm (195.3THz, ITU ch53) over SMF. 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 FWLF1634RL53 work in my Cisco, Juniper, Arista or HPE switch?
The FWLF1634RL53 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.
FWLF1634RL53 vs FWLF1634RL17: what is the difference?
Both are in Finisar's FWLF1634RL family. They differ in wavelength (1535.04nm (195.3THz, ITU ch53) vs 1563.86nm (191.7THz, ITU ch17)). Pick the variant that matches your temperature, latch and wavelength needs.
What temperature range is the FWLF1634RL53 rated for?
The FWLF1634RL53 is a commercial-temperature part rated −5 to 70 °C. Choose an industrial (T) variant for outdoor or uncontrolled sites.
What does the FWLF1634RL53 part number mean?
The FWLF prefix marks Finisar's CWDM / DWDM wavelength-specific SFP 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 FWLF1634RL53 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 FWLF1634RL53 price in India and how do I order?
The Finisar FWLF1634RL53 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 FWLF1634RL53 need?
It runs from 3.3 V (3.13–3.50 V) with power dissipation of 1.25 W max (Icc 325 mA typ).
