Finisar compatible FTLF8536P4PNV Description
EdgeOptic's FTLF8536P4PNV compatible is a Finisar-coded dual-rate 10GBASE-SR / 25GBASE-SR SFP28 transceiver that matches the original Finisar FTLF8536P4PNV specification. The PNV suffix combines three positions: P = pull-tab release, N = extended 0-85 C case-temperature rating, V = OEM customer variant coding. The FTLF8536 line is dual-rate, so the EEPROM carries both 10GBASE-SR (10.3125 Gbps) and 25GBASE-SR (25.78125 Gbps); the host port selects the Ethernet rate.
Optical path follows the FTLF8536 family root spec: 850 nm VCSEL transmitter, PIN photodiode receiver, TX power -8.4 to +2.4 dBm, RX sensitivity better than -10.3 dBm, 5.3 dB link budget, LC/UPC duplex connector. Reach is 100 m on OM4 and OM5, and 70 m on OM3. RS-FEC via Clause 91 (RS(528,514)) applies at 25GBASE-SR when the host port negotiates it; at 10GBASE-SR no host FEC is required. Electrical interface is SFP28 per SFF-8402 MSA with SFF-8431 / SFF-8432 for the cage.
The V position is the distinction from the PNL sibling. Where PNL uses the L coding (standard commercial OEM identifier, general availability), PNV uses the V coding (OEM customer variant). V-coded Finisar parts are populated into slots where a specific integrator EEPROM profile is enforced. The FTLF8536P4BNV, the bail-latch equivalent, is Dell's SFP28-10G-25G-SR-85C OEM code; Finisar does not publish a public mapping from FTLF8536P4PNV to a specific OEM's order number, so the target host identity is not claimed here. If the BOM calls for FTLF8536P4PNV against a specific OEM order code, confirm the target EEPROM identity before ordering.
Digital diagnostics are SFF-8472 Rev 12.2 compliant, exposing per-module temperature, supply voltage, TX bias, TX power, and RX power. Power dissipation is 1.2 W maximum on the P4 generation, the module is hot-swappable, the 0-85 C extended-temp rating matches the N position, and the part is RoHS compliant per the original Finisar specification. EdgeOptic's FTLF8536P4PNV compatible is coded to the Finisar EEPROM profile for drop-in replacement in Finisar-populated slots. For OEM-locked hosts that require a specific integrator signature, the module can be coded during fulfillment to the EEPROM variant the target slot enforces.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the V suffix mean on the FTLF8536P4PNV, and is the module OEM-locked to a specific host?
The V position denotes an OEM customer variant - the module is coded in EEPROM for a specific integrator's part-number profile rather than the L standard-commercial profile. The V-coded Finisar part sibling FTLF8536P4BNV is published as Dell's SFP28-10G-25G-SR-85C OEM code. The exact OEM target for FTLF8536P4PNV is not published in public Finisar or Coherent documentation; the EdgeOptic compatible is coded to match the Finisar EEPROM identity, and for slots that enforce a specific OEM signature the module can be coded during fulfillment.
How does the FTLF8536P4PNV differ from the PNL - optical, electrical, and EEPROM?
Optically and electrically the two are identical: 850 nm VCSEL, 100 m OM4 reach, 5.3 dB budget, SFP28 cage, P4-generation 1.2 W, 0-85 C extended-temp rating, pull-tab release. The distinction is the EEPROM OEM coding. PNL uses the L identifier (standard commercial, general availability) and PNV uses the V identifier (OEM customer variant). A host that validates Finisar EEPROM at the standard commercial level accepts PNL and the EdgeOptic PNL-matched compatible; a host that enforces the V coding requires the PNV-matched part.
Is the pull-tab FTLF8536P4PNV a drop-in for a bail-latch FTLF8536P4BNV slot?
Optics and electrical yes, EEPROM depends on OEM policy. The P (pull-tab) and B (bail-latch) positions are release mechanism only - the 850 nm VCSEL, 100 m OM4 reach, SFP28 interface, P4 1.2 W power, and extended 0-85 C rating are identical. If the target slot validates EEPROM at the Finisar OEM-variant level and accepts either the pull-tab or bail-latch V-coded signature, the swap is transparent. If the host is a Dell deployment locked to the BNV SFP28-10G-25G-SR-85C profile, confirm whether the PNV V coding is accepted before ordering.
Is the FTLF8536P4PNV suitable for deployment in a 0-85 C case-temperature environment?
Yes. The N position encodes the 0-85 C case-temperature rating, confirmed via the Dell FTLF8536P4BNV SFP28-10G-25G-SR-85C OEM cross-reference - the N occupies the same position in the nomenclature. Standard commercial FTLF8536 variants (BCL, PCL, BCV) are rated 0-70 C. Deployments where the SFP28 cage case temperature sustains above 70 C under load - dense chassis, top-of-rack, industrial-adjacent cabinets - should specify an N-suffix part.
