Finisar compatible FTLF8528P2BCV-QL Description
EdgeOptic's FTLF8528P2BCV-QL compatible is a Finisar (QLogic)-coded 8GFC version of the EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-300 multi-vendor Fibre Channel and 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver. The OEM module is a Fibre Channel SFP+ at 850 nm short-wavelength multimode, multi-rate across 1GFC, 2GFC, 4GFC and 8GFC, with 8.5 Gbps as the headline 8GFC line rate. The -QL suffix is QLogic's OEM EEPROM coding for SFP+ optics qualified for its QLE2560 and QLE2562 Fibre Channel HBA families.
The 10G-SFP-300 multi-rate scope covers 1G through 10G Fibre Channel, so an 8GFC short-wavelength SFP+ falls inside the same physical module class. The reach figure for 8GFC SW differs from 10GBASE-SR Ethernet: per the FC-PI-4 standard, 8GFC SW supports 150 m over OM3 multimode fiber. The 300 m / 400 m reach quoted on the 10GBASE-SR Ethernet product face does not apply to 8GFC links.
Optical specs: 850 nm transmit and receive, duplex LC/UPC connector, VCSEL transmitter and PIN photodiode receiver, DOM/DDM per SFF-8472 for monitoring TX bias, optical power, voltage and case temperature. Standard target hosts are QLogic Fibre Channel HBAs that publish FTLF8528P2BCV-QL in their accessory matrix: QLE2560 (single-port 8GFC) and QLE2562 (dual-port 8GFC). The EdgeOptic compatible carries QLogic-recognized vendor identification so the optic appears as a recognized SFP+ on QLogic HBA firmware.
Standard commercial temperature 0 to 70 °C, +3.3 V single-supply, FC-PI-4 8GFC short-wavelength signaling, SFF-8431 SFP+ MSA, SFF-8432 mechanical, SFF-8472 diagnostic monitoring. The module is a Fibre Channel SFP+ and is not intended for 10GBASE-SR Ethernet links. For Ethernet host adapters, the FTLX8571 or FTLX8574 dual-rate variants in the same EdgeOptic family are the correct match. Verify the QLogic HBA firmware revision against QLogic's accessory compatibility documentation before deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which QLogic HBAs is the FTLF8528P2BCV-QL coded for?
The OEM FTLF8528P2BCV-QL is QLogic's qualified 8GFC short-wavelength SFP+ for the QLE2560 (single-port 8GFC) and QLE2562 (dual-port 8GFC) HBA families, with the -QL suffix denoting QLogic-recognized EEPROM identification. The EdgeOptic compatible carries the same QLogic vendor identification so the optic shows as a recognized SFP+ on QLogic HBA firmware. Verify the HBA firmware revision against QLogic's accessory compatibility documentation if the deployment uses an older QLogic firmware that publishes its accepted-SFP list against specific revisions.
Can the FTLF8528P2BCV-QL be used as a 10GBASE-SR Ethernet SFP+?
No. The FTLF prefix in the part number identifies a Fibre Channel SFP+; it is qualified against the FC-PI-4 8GFC short-wavelength signal class, not IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-SR Ethernet. For 10GBASE-SR Ethernet host adapters or switch ports, the FTLX8571 or FTLX8574 dual-rate Finisar variants in the same EdgeOptic family are the correct match. Mixing an FC SFP+ into an Ethernet SFP+ port will not form a valid link, because the 8.5 Gbps Fibre Channel signaling rate and protocol are incompatible with the 10.3125 Gbps NRZ rate and PHY framing that 10GBASE-SR Ethernet hosts expect. DOM behaviour will not match the Ethernet platform's expectations.
