Finisar compatible FTLF8524P2BNL Description
FTLF8524P2BNL is a Finisar part number for a multi-rate Fibre Channel SFP transceiver covering 1GFC (1.0625 Gbps), 2GFC (2.125 Gbps), 4GFC (4.25 Gbps), 8GFC (8.5 Gbps), and 10GFC (10.52 Gbps). The module transmits at 850 nm using a VCSEL laser over multimode fiber with LC duplex connectors. Optical budget is 4.6 dB minimum, supporting up to 150 m on OM3 at 8GFC per FC-PI-4; at lower FC rates (1G/2G/4G) reach extends further due to reduced bandwidth demand. At 10GFC rates, reach on OM3 is significantly reduced versus the 8GFC figure and is platform-dependent.
EdgeOptic's compatible replacement matches the FTLF8524P2BNL specifications and carries Finisar-recognized EEPROM coding. The module supports DDM (Digital Diagnostics Monitoring) per SFF-8472 for real-time optical power, temperature, and bias current readings. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 70°C (commercial). Physical compliance follows SFF-8431 and SFF-8432 MSA standards.
Primary deployment: SAN fabrics running Fibre Channel, backward-compatible across 1G through 10G FC rates. The multi-rate capability makes this SFP suitable for mixed-generation environments where 4GFC and 8GFC ports coexist. Actual rate negotiation depends on the switch or HBA port configuration. CE/RoHS certified. For volume pricing or platform-specific questions, contact our sales team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the FTLF8524P2BNL a Fibre Channel or Ethernet transceiver?
Fibre Channel. The FTLF8524P2BNL supports 1GFC through 10GFC data rates (1.0625–10.52 Gbps). It is designed for SAN/FC infrastructure, not Ethernet. For 10GBASE-SR Ethernet, the corresponding Finisar part number is FTLX8571D3BCL.
Does the FTLF8524P2BNL work in 8GFC and 4GFC switch ports?
Yes. The multi-rate chipset negotiates automatically with the host port. In an 8GFC port it runs at 8.5 Gbps; in a 4GFC port at 4.25 Gbps. This backward compatibility is useful in mixed-generation SAN fabrics where older and newer directors share the same optic inventory.
