Finisar compatible FTLF8528P2BCV Description
EdgeOptic's FTLF8528P2BCV compatible is a Finisar-coded version of the EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-300 multi-rate SFP+ transceiver, supplied for 8 Gbps Fibre Channel Short Wave operation on host bus adapters and SAN fabric switches. Finisar-recognized EEPROM lets the optic register cleanly on the host's SFP+ cage, so the platform accepts the module without a vendor-mismatch warning. One universal multi-rate hardware platform, 80+ vendor codes, including this Finisar 8GFC base variant.
Optical parameters for 8GFC Short Wave operation on this platform. 850 nm VCSEL transmitter, PIN photodiode receiver, multi-mode duplex LC. Reach is up to 380 m on OM3 multi-mode fiber at 8.5 Gbps per the Finisar FTLF8528P2BCV datasheet, with 150 m on OM2 at the same rate per FC-PI-4 Table 16. TX output power runs −5 to 0 dBm, receiver sensitivity −11.1 dBm. The optic also covers 2G and 4G Fibre Channel rates within the multi-rate envelope of the EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-300 platform. DDM/DOM supported via SFF-8472 for live link diagnostics. Compliance: SFF-8431, SFP MSA, FC-PI-4 (INCITS 450-2008), RoHS, IEC60825-1 Class 1 laser safety. Operating range 0 to 70°C commercial.
FTLF8528P2BCV is an 8 Gbps Fibre Channel Short Wave SFP+ per the FC-PI-4 standard (INCITS 450-2008), not an Ethernet optic. The part runs at 2.125, 4.25 and 8.5 Gbps and is deployed as the SFP+ transceiver on 8GFC host bus adapters and on the SFP+ ports of 8GFC SAN fabric switches. The FTLF8528P2BCV is the base Finisar-coded form of this 8GFC Short Wave module; OEM-coded suffix variants (such as the QLogic-coded FTLF8528P2BCV-QL) share identical optics with different EEPROM identifiers programmed for specific HBA and switch platforms. Finisar's transceiver line was acquired by II-VI in 2019 and operates today under the Coherent brand; the Finisar marking remains in active use on 8GFC SW SFP+ module labels.
Within the EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-300 multi-rate platform, the same physical SFP+ hardware supports 1G, 2G, 4G, 8G, and 10G Fibre Channel as well as 1G and 10G Ethernet rates. When coded for the Finisar 8GFC EEPROM identifier, the optic registers on the host as the Finisar OEM Fibre Channel SFP+ and the HBA or switch firmware auto-negotiates the link to the negotiated Fibre Channel rate, typically 8 Gbps with 4 Gbps and 2 Gbps backward compatibility on older fabric switches. Use the bare-base FTLF8528P2BCV form when the host platform requires the uncoded Finisar identifier; for HBA-vendor-specific OEM coding, verify the required EEPROM identifier against the host platform's transceiver documentation before ordering.

FTLF8528P2BCV FAQ
Is FTLF8528P2BCV interchangeable with FTLF8528P3BCV in an 8GFC SAN port?
FTLF8528P2BCV (P2) and FTLF8528P3BCV (P3) are two generations of the Finisar 8GFC Short Wave SFP+ family, both rated for 2/4/8 Gbps Fibre Channel at 850 nm over multi-mode fiber. The optical specifications are equivalent at the FC-PI-4 level, so a P2 and a P3 module will link at 8 Gbps in the same SAN port. Some HBA and fabric switch firmware track the exact generation EEPROM identifier for inventory reporting, however, so when mixing generations across the same fabric verify that the host platform's transceiver compatibility documentation accepts both P2 and P3 form codes before deploying a mixed population.
