Finisar compatible FTLF8536P5BNV Description

EdgeOptic's FTLF8536P5BNV compatible is a Finisar-coded dual-rate 10G/25G version of the EdgeOptic 25G-SFP28-100 multi-vendor SFP28 SR transceiver. FTLF8536P5BNV is a Finisar (now Coherent Corp) ordering code in the FTLF8536P5 25GBASE-SR SFP28 family, classified as a dual-rate 10 Gbps / 25 Gbps module in the Coherent product catalog. The module is programmed with Finisar-recognized EEPROM vendor and part-number strings so hosts accepting Finisar-coded EEPROM read the optic cleanly through the standard SFP28 management interface.

Optical behavior is 25GBASE-SR per IEEE 802.3by Clause 112 over duplex multi-mode fiber. Line signaling rate is 25.78125 Gbps at 25GBASE-SR; 10GBASE-SR signaling at 10.3125 Gbps per IEEE 802.3ae is supported on dual-rate SFP28 host ports. Reach is 100 m on OM4 and 70 m on OM3, within the SFP28 SerDes envelope defined by SFP28 MSA SFF-8402. Host-side RS-FEC per IEEE 802.3by Clause 108 applies when the host port negotiates it at 25GBASE-SR.

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 compliant, exposing per-module temperature, supply voltage, TX bias, TX power and RX power through the host's standard transceiver-diagnostics interface. Power dissipation is 0.3 W and the module is hot-swappable with a bail-latch release mechanism.

FTLF8536P5BNV is positioned against any SFP28 host platform accepting Finisar-coded EEPROM, which covers chassis previously populated with Finisar FTLF8536P5 family modules. FTLF8536P5BNV is the V-suffix dual-rate ordering code in the P5 family; the FTLF8536P5BCV is the sibling V-suffix dual-rate ordering code on the same generation, with Lenovo qualifying the BCV as a dual-rate 10G/25G SFP28 module under Lenovo ThinkSystem ordering code 4TC7A88638. The single-rate 25 Gbps siblings in the P5 family are the FTLF8536P5BCL and FTLF8536P5PCL. The FTLF8536P4BNV is the prior-generation predecessor in the FTLF8536P4 family. Verify FTLF8536P5BNV against your platform's transceiver compatibility documentation and verify the suffix-specific operating temperature against the Finisar/Coherent datasheet for your deployment's thermal envelope before specifying the part.

Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty. For FTLF8536P5BNV populations 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

What distinguishes the FTLF8536P5BNV from the FTLF8536P5BCV (Lenovo ThinkSystem 4TC7A88638)?

Both FTLF8536P5BNV and FTLF8536P5BCV are V-suffix dual-rate 10G/25G ordering codes in the Coherent (formerly Finisar) FTLF8536P5 25GBASE-SR SFP28 family. The BCV is the variant Lenovo has published against ThinkSystem 4TC7A88638 as the OEM-qualified dual-rate 10G/25G SFP28 ordering code for Lenovo platforms. The BNV is a separate OEM customer variant in the same V-suffix dual-rate class; the specific OEM target chassis is not published in accessible Finisar/Coherent documentation. For Lenovo ThinkSystem deployments anchored to the 4TC7A88638 procurement code, specify the FTLF8536P5BCV. For populations already running FTLF8536P5BNV in another chassis, the BNV ordering code is the direct match. Verify the suffix-specific operating temperature and power specifications against the Finisar/Coherent datasheet for your deployment.

Is the FTLF8536P5BNV dual-rate, and how is the 10G mode configured on the host?

The FTLF8536P5BNV is a dual-rate 10GBASE-SR / 25GBASE-SR SFP28 module. The FTLF8536P5BNV EEPROM carries both 10.3125 Gbps and 25.78125 Gbps rate support; the host switch platform selects the operating rate per port. At 10GBASE-SR no host FEC is required. At 25GBASE-SR most modern host platforms enable RS-FEC per IEEE 802.3by Clause 108 by default. The module does not negotiate the rate autonomously, so if the host port is not configured for the intended rate the link will not come up. Confirm the per-port rate configuration on both link partners during commissioning.
