Finisar compatible FTLX1471D3BCL Description
The EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-10 is a compatible replacement for the Finisar FTLX1471D3BCL 10GBASE-LR SFP+ transceiver. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over single-mode fiber at 1310nm with a maximum reach of 10km, using a duplex LC/UPC connector. The module complies with MSA specifications and works in any platform that accepts the FTLX1471D3BCL part number.
The transmitter uses a 1310nm DFB laser with an output power range of –8.2dBm to +0.5dBm. The receiver uses a PIN photodiode with a sensitivity of –14.4dBm at BER 1E-12, for a channel insertion loss budget of 6.2dB per IEEE 802.3ae over ITU-T G.652 single-mode fiber. The operating wavelength range is 1260nm to 1355nm.
The module supports data rates from 1.25 Gbps to 10.3125 Gbps, covering 10GBASE-LR (10.3125 Gbps), 1000BASE-LX (1.25 Gbps), and OC-192/STM-64 (9.95 Gbps, rate-compatible). The host platform sets the line rate; the module operates at whatever rate is configured.
Finisar (now part of Coherent, after the II-VI acquisition in 2019 and rebrand in 2022) is an optics manufacturer, not a networking equipment vendor. The FTLX1471D3BCL is one of the most widely cross-referenced 10GBASE-LR SFP+ part numbers in the industry. Switch and router vendors across Cisco, Juniper, Arista, HPE, Dell, and others list the FTLX1471D3BCL as a qualified or compatible optic in their transceiver compatibility matrices, making it a standard reference part for multi-vendor procurement.
Finisar uses suffixes to indicate vendor-specific EEPROM coding: FTLX1471D3BCL-C (Cisco), FTLX1471D3BCL-EX (Extreme Networks), FTLX1471D3BCL-J1 (Juniper), and FTLX1471D3BCL-HC (HPE). The base FTLX1471D3BCL without a suffix is the MSA-standard version without vendor-specific EEPROM. The EdgeOptic compatible matches the base MSA specification. For platforms that enforce vendor EEPROM locking, EdgeOptic offers vendor-coded alternatives on the corresponding vendor product page.
Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) is supported per SFF-8472 Rev 12.4. The module exposes transmit and receive optical power, laser bias current, temperature, and supply voltage via the host management interface. The module is MSA compliant per SFF-8431 / SFF-8432 (SFP+ MSA) and classified as Class 1 laser safe per IEC 60825-1. It carries CE and RoHS certification, operates at 0°C to 70°C (commercial temperature), and draws under 1W typical.
The FTLX1471D3BCL operates over standard OS2 single-mode fiber. The minimum recommended link length is 2 meters to avoid receiver saturation; for shorter patch cables, an inline optical attenuator (5–10dB) is recommended. The module uses a standard bail latch mechanism and supports hot-swappable insertion in SFP+ cages.
All EdgeOptic transceivers ship with a lifetime warranty. For volume pricing, vendor-coded variants, or project support, contact our sales team.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between FTLX1471D3BCL and FTLX1475D3BCL?
Both are 10GBASE-LR SFP+ modules from Finisar at 1310nm over 10km single-mode fiber. The difference is the module latch design: the FTLX1471D3BCL uses a standard bail latch, while the FTLX1475D3BCL has a pull-tab release mechanism. Optical performance and connector type (duplex LC) are identical between the two.
What do the FTLX1471D3BCL suffixes mean (-C, -EX, -J1, -HC)?
Finisar adds suffixes to indicate vendor-specific EEPROM coding. -C is coded for Cisco, -EX for Extreme Networks, -J1 for Juniper, and -HC for HPE. The base FTLX1471D3BCL without a suffix is the MSA-standard version. Some platforms enforce vendor locking via firmware, so check your switch vendor’s transceiver compatibility matrix.
Is Finisar the same company as Coherent?
Yes. II-VI Incorporated acquired Finisar in 2019, then rebranded to Coherent Corp in 2022. The FTLX1471D3BCL part number originated with Finisar and remains widely referenced under the Finisar name in datasheets and vendor compatibility lists. Coherent continues to manufacture the module under the same part number.
What data rates does the FTLX1471D3BCL support?
The FTLX1471D3BCL supports data rates from 1.25 Gbps to 10.3125 Gbps. This covers 10GBASE-LR (10.3125 Gbps), 1000BASE-LX (1.25 Gbps), and OC-192/STM-64 (9.95 Gbps, rate-compatible). The host platform sets the line rate; the module operates at whatever rate is configured.
