Finisar compatible FTLX6871MCC Description

EdgeOptic's FTLX6871MCC compatible is a Finisar (now Coherent Corp.) coded tunable 10 Gb/s DWDM SFP+ with a linear APD receiver, designed for OTN transport and transponder-based DWDM systems where the host line card performs its own clock and data recovery. The module covers the full C-Band tunable range on the ITU 50 GHz grid and matches the FTLX6871MCC EEPROM identifier, so host systems that look for the linear-receiver part number recognize the optic without firmware overrides.

Optical and electrical specifications: DWDM C-Band, ITU 50 GHz grid, channels 17 to 61 (89 channels, 1528.38 to 1564.68 nm) with integrated wavelength locker. Reach 80 km over G.652 single-mode fiber with a 23 dB optical link budget. TX launch power per lane −1 to +4 dBm. RX sensitivity better than −23 dBm. RX overload −6 dBm. Dispersion tolerance 1600 ps/nm. Data rate range 8.5 to 11.32 Gb/s, supporting 8G/10G Fibre Channel, 10G Ethernet, OC-192/STM-64, and the OTN family (ODU2, ODU2e, OTU2, OTU1e, OTU2e, OTU1f, OTU2f). Power consumption 2.0 W at 3.3 V. Operating case temperature 0 to 70 °C (commercial). Duplex LC connector, SMF G.652. DOM/DDM per SFF-8472. Compliant with SFF-8431, SFF-8432, and SFF-8690. CE/RoHS, Class 1 laser safety.

The linear APD receiver outputs the full analog waveform to the host, which is the standard architecture for OTN transport and transponder-based DWDM systems where the host card runs its own electrical CDR and FEC. This is the design point that distinguishes FTLX6871 from the limiting-receiver FTLX6872, which is the standard choice for 10GbE switching and routing. Engineers selecting the linear variant should confirm that the target host platform expects a linear receiver per the system's published transceiver compatibility list, and verify the channel plan against the line system's wavelength assignments before deployment.

Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Made to order with a 2-week lead time, backed by a lifetime warranty. For channel-plan provisioning, host coding requests, or volume quoting, contact our sales team.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between FTLX6871MCC and FTLX6871MNC?

Both share the same optical and electrical specifications and the linear APD receiver architecture. The suffix encodes the OEM-side temperature grade: MCC is the commercial-temperature build, MNC is the extended-temperature build. EdgeOptic's compatible parts for both SKUs operate at 0 to 70 °C case temperature, which covers standard rack and switch-cabinet deployments. If the deployment requires harsh-environment specification at the OEM level, source the OEM-branded MNC variant directly.

When should I select the linear FTLX6871 instead of the limiting FTLX6872?

The linear FTLX6871 is specified for OTN transport and transponder-based DWDM systems where the host line card runs its own clock and data recovery and FEC, and expects an analog waveform from the optic. The limiting FTLX6872 is the standard choice for 10GbE switches and routers, which expect a digitized signal with the decision circuit inside the module. The two are not drop-in interchangeable in either direction. Verify the target host platform's transceiver compatibility list to confirm whether it requires the linear or limiting receiver before substituting.
