Dell (Force10) compatible FTLX8571D3BCL-FC Description
EdgeOptic's FTLX8571D3BCL-FC compatible is a Coherent (formerly Finisar) Dell WTRD1 dual-rate (10GbE plus 10G Fibre Channel) version of the EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-300 multi-vendor 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver. The Dell EEPROM identifies the optic as a recognized accessory on Dell converged infrastructure, so the host accepts the module for either 10GBASE-SR Ethernet or 10G Fibre Channel use as configured by the port. One universal SR platform, 80+ vendor codes, including this Dell FC-coded variant. Dell catalogs the module under alternate PN WTRD1.
Optical specifications, 10GBASE-SR (Ethernet) and 10G Fibre Channel SW (FC) dual-rate operation. 850 nm VCSEL, PIN photodiode receiver, multi-mode duplex LC. Reach is 300 m on OM3 and 400 m on OM4. TX output power runs −5 to 0 dBm, receiver sensitivity −11.1 dBm, receiver overload 0 dBm, link budget 6.1 dB. Multi-rate scope spans 1.25 to 11.32 Gbps. DDM/DOM is supported per SFF-8472. Compliance: SFF-8431, SFP MSA, IEEE 802.3ae for the Ethernet rate, FC-PI-4 (INCITS 450-2008) for the Fibre Channel rate, RoHS, IEC60825-1 Class 1 laser safety. Operating range 0 to 70°C commercial.
The -FC suffix on FTLX8571D3BCL-FC indicates Dell's Fibre Channel coding variant of the Finisar FTLX8571D3BCL base module. The SFP+ form factor and the 850 nm 10GBASE-SR optical hardware are unchanged from the base BCL; what changes is the Dell EEPROM, which carries the identifiers Dell's converged infrastructure expects on storage-attached ports. A single SFP+ cage runs one protocol at a time; multi-rate capability lets the same physical optic switch between 10GbE and 10GFC duty as the host's protocol mode changes.
The Finisar base module FTLX8571D3BCL ships with several vendor-coded suffixes. FTLX8571D3BCL-FC carries Dell Fibre Channel coding (WTRD1 alternate PN). The base FTLX8571D3BCL without suffix is the Finisar/Coherent reference module. Other OEM-coded suffix variants exist for adjacent vendor channels; order the suffix that matches the BOM and verify against the host's transceiver compatibility list.
Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty included.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the -FC suffix mean on the FTLX8571D3BCL-FC?
The -FC suffix indicates Dell's Fibre Channel coding variant of the Finisar FTLX8571D3BCL base module. The hardware is an SFP+ 10GBASE-SR optic at 850 nm; what the suffix changes is the EEPROM. With the -FC coding, the module carries the identifiers Dell's converged infrastructure expects on storage-attached ports, so the host accepts the optic for either 10GbE or 10G Fibre Channel use. Dell catalogs the module under the alternate part number WTRD1.
Can the FTLX8571D3BCL-FC run 10GbE and Fibre Channel on the same port simultaneously?
A single SFP+ cage runs one protocol at a time. FTLX8571D3BCL-FC is multi-rate capable, which means the same physical optic supports both 10G Ethernet and 10G Fibre Channel depending on host port configuration. The port selects either Ethernet or Fibre Channel through the host's protocol setting; the optic does not carry both simultaneously on one fiber pair. Configure the cage for the protocol the deployment needs, and the optic handles either rate without changing modules.
