Finisar compatible FTLF8536P4PNL Description

EdgeOptic's FTLF8536P4PNL compatible is a Finisar-coded variant of the EdgeOptic 25G-SFP28-100 multi-vendor SFP28 dual-rate 10G/25G SR transceiver. FTLF8536P4PNL is a Finisar (now Coherent Corp) ordering code in the FTLF8536P4 dual-rate 10G/25G SFP28 SR family. The module is programmed with Finisar-recognized EEPROM vendor and part-number strings so any host accepting Finisar-coded optics reads the optic cleanly through the standard SFP28 management interface, which makes it a drop-in match for chassis previously populated with Finisar FTLF8536P4 family modules.

Optical behavior is 25GBASE-SR per IEEE 802.3by Clause 112 over duplex multi-mode fiber, with 10GBASE-SR support per IEEE 802.3ae on dual-rate SFP28 host ports. Line signaling rate is 10.3125 Gbps at 10GBASE-SR and 25.78125 Gbps at 25GBASE-SR. Reach is 100 m on OM4 and 70 m on OM3, within the SFP28 SerDes envelope defined by SFP28 MSA SFF-8402.

Optical path is 850 nm VCSEL transmitter, PIN photodiode receiver, TX optical power −5 to +2.4 dBm, RX sensitivity better than −10.3 dBm, 5.3 dB link budget, LC duplex connector. Digital diagnostics are SFF-8472 Rev 12.0 compliant, exposing per-module temperature, supply voltage, TX bias, TX power and RX power through the host's standard transceiver-diagnostics interface. The module is hot-swappable with a pull-tab release mechanism.

FTLF8536P4PNL is positioned against any SFP28 host platform accepting Finisar-coded EEPROM, which covers chassis previously populated with Finisar FTLF8536P4 family modules. Verify FTLF8536P4PNL against your platform's transceiver compatibility documentation, and verify the suffix-specific operating temperature and power specifications against the Finisar/Coherent datasheet for your deployment's thermal envelope before specifying the part.

On FEC, 25G FEC mode is configured at the MAC layer on each link partner and the optical path is agnostic to whether RS-FEC per IEEE 802.3by Clause 108 or BASE-R FEC is negotiated on the host. The host FEC profile determines the negotiated mode on the link; confirm the FEC profile on both link partners during commissioning to avoid mismatch on mixed-vendor 25G interconnects. The module is symmetrically compatible with either FEC mode supported on the host port.

Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty. For deployments replacing Finisar FTLF8536P4 family modules where the existing chassis EEPROM coding must match, multi-rack volume pricing on a 25G refresh, or compatibility verification against a specific host platform, contact our sales team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the FTLF8536P4PNL support 10G as well as 25G?

Yes. FTLF8536P4PNL operates at both 10GBASE-SR (10.3125 Gbps per IEEE 802.3ae) and 25GBASE-SR (25.78125 Gbps per IEEE 802.3by Clause 112) on dual-rate SFP28 host ports. Within the broader Finisar P-series, the FTLF8538 prefix designates single-rate 25G-only modules. For the FTLF8536 P5 generation specifically, the rate class depends on the suffix: L-suffix variants (such as FTLF8536P5BCL) are single-rate 25G, while V-suffix variants (such as FTLF8536P5BCV) are dual-rate 10G/25G. Verify the specific suffix's rate class against the Finisar/Coherent datasheet or distributor listing for the exact OEM part number before specifying.

How does the FTLF8536P4PNL compare to the FTLF8536P4BNL and FTLF8536P4BCL?

FTLF8536P4PNL, FTLF8536P4BNL and FTLF8536P4BCL are sibling Finisar ordering codes in the same FTLF8536P4 dual-rate 10G/25G SR SFP28 family. They share the optical core (850 nm VCSEL, PIN receiver, 100 m OM4, 70 m OM3 per IEEE 802.3by Clause 112). The Finisar/Coherent product descriptions for the BNL and BCL siblings document different operating-temperature ranges and slightly different power-consumption profiles across the family; verify the suffix-specific operating temperature and power figures against the Finisar/Coherent datasheet for FTLF8536P4PNL and confirm that the chassis thermal envelope on your deployment matches the variant being specified.
