Finisar compatible FTLF8528P3BCV-QL Description
EdgeOptic's FTLF8528P3BCV-QL compatible is a QLogic-coded version of the EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-300 multi-rate SFP+ transceiver, supplied for 8 Gbps Fibre Channel Short Wave operation on QLogic Fibre Channel host bus adapters. QLogic-recognized EEPROM lets the optic register cleanly on QLogic HBA SFP+ cages, so the host accepts the module without a vendor-mismatch alert. One universal multi-rate hardware platform, 80+ vendor codes, including this QLogic 8GFC 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 150 m on OM3 at 8.5 Gbps Fibre Channel per FC-PI-4 Table 16 (2000 MHz·km OM3). TX output power runs −5 to 0 dBm, receiver sensitivity −11.1 dBm, link budget 6.1 dB, meeting and exceeding the FC-PI-4 minimum specifications. The optic also covers 1G, 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.
FTLF8528P3BCV-QL is an 8 Gbps Fibre Channel Short Wave SFP+ per the FC-PI-4 standard (INCITS 450-2008), not an Ethernet optic. The part is used as the SFP+ transceiver on QLogic Fibre Channel host bus adapters in the QLE2560 and QLE2562 8GFC families, and on QLE2670, QLE2672 and QLE2694 16GFC HBAs operating at the negotiated 8GFC link rate. QLogic was acquired by Cavium in 2016, and Cavium was acquired by Marvell Technology in 2018; the QLogic brand remains in active use on Fibre Channel HBA datasheets published under Marvell. The base FTLF8528P3BCV is a Finisar (now Coherent) optical module; the -QL suffix identifies this as the QLogic OEM-coded variant on the base FTLF8528P3BCV.
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 QLogic 8GFC EEPROM identifier, the optic registers on QLogic HBAs as a Fibre Channel transceiver and the HBA driver 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 this part for QLogic HBA replacements; for 10GBASE-SR Ethernet deployments on Ethernet NICs, an EdgeOptic compatible coded for the host vendor's Ethernet EEPROM identifier is the right ordering route.
Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty included. For QLogic HBA compatibility checks, 8GFC SAN fabric integration on Brocade or Cisco MDS, or alternative Ethernet 10GBASE-SR ordering for non-FC deployments, contact our sales team.
FTLF8528P3BCV-QL FAQ
Is FTLF8528P3BCV-QL functionally different from the base FTLF8528P3BCV?
Only the EEPROM coding differs. Optical output, FC-PI-4 link budget, and reach over OM3 / OM4 multi-mode fiber are identical between the QLogic-coded -QL variant and the base FTLF8528P3BCV. The QLogic-coded EEPROM lets the optic register cleanly on QLogic HBAs as a recognized OEM Fibre Channel transceiver, while the uncoded base module ships without an HBA-specific vendor identifier. For QLogic HBA deployments, order the -QL form; for an uncoded base module or a different HBA vendor's coded variant, verify the EEPROM identifier requirement against the host platform's compatibility documentation.
Does FTLF8528P3BCV-QL expose DDM readouts to QLogic management tools?
The module implements SFF-8472 DDM via the standard SFP+ I2C interface, so the QLogic HBA driver and host operating-system management tools can read transceiver temperature, supply voltage, TX bias, TX power and RX power. On ESXi and Linux hosts, the relevant DDM registers are exposed through standard SFP+ diagnostic interfaces; on QLogic management stacks the same registers are accessible through QLogic's vendor management interfaces for the QLE-series HBAs. Verify the exact tool support against the QLogic (Marvell) HBA documentation for the specific QLE2560, QLE2562, QLE2670, QLE2672 or QLE2694 firmware release in use.
