Finisar compatible FTLX6872MCC Description
The EdgeOptic FTLX6872MCC is a Finisar-compatible (now Coherent) tunable 10G DWDM SFP+ transceiver based on the DWDM-10G-SFP-80-TUN platform, manufactured to SFP+ MSA (SFF-8431) specifications. The FTLX6872MCC is the limiting receiver variant at commercial temperature (0 to 70°C), the standard choice for indoor data center and central office environments. The module operates over duplex single-mode fiber with a rated 23 dB optical link budget, reaching up to 80 km. The 80 km distance assumes minimum optical budget and average fiber attenuation; actual reach depends on installed plant loss, connectors, and splices. The FTLX6872MCC uses a tunable laser transmitter operating across ITU C-Band channels on the 50 GHz DWDM grid and a limiting APD receiver with a built-in decision circuit. A single tunable SKU replaces any of the fixed-wavelength DWDM channel variants. This reduces spare inventory to one part number. DDM/DOM optical diagnostics report transmit power, receive power, temperature, bias current, and supply voltage via the MSA-compatible EEPROM interface.
The module has a duplex LC/UPC connector. The chipset supports data rates from 8.5 to 11.32 Gbps, including 10G Ethernet (10.31 Gbps), STM-64/OC-192 (9.95 Gbps), 10G Fibre Channel (10.52 Gbps), 8G Fibre Channel (8.5 Gbps), OTU2 (10.71 Gbps), and OTU2e (11.09 Gbps). Supported applications depend on the host port capabilities and are confirmed during the ordering process. The limiting receiver variant is the standard choice for 10GbE switching and routing platforms from Cisco, Juniper, Arista, and other vendors. Typical deployments include metro network backbones, regional carrier interconnects, inter-city data center interconnects, and service provider distribution networks over 80 km single-mode fiber in climate-controlled environments.
The EdgeOptic FTLX6872MCC is CE/RoHS certified and compliant with Class 1 laser safety standards (IEC 60825-1). The module EEPROM is programmed with Finisar-compatible vendor coding. The FTLX6872MCC is the most commonly deployed variant of the Finisar tunable DWDM SFP+ family, used across multiple vendor platforms. Finisar was acquired by II-VI in 2019. II-VI subsequently acquired Coherent Corp. and rebranded the combined company as Coherent Corp. in 2022. Coherent has released a newer generation FTLX6882MCC; verify platform compatibility before substituting.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between FTLX6872MCC and FTLX6872MNC?
Both are Finisar limiting APD tunable DWDM SFP+ modules with identical optical and electrical specifications. The difference is operating temperature range: MCC is commercial grade (0 to 70°C) for standard indoor rack environments, while the Finisar original MNC is extended temperature (-40 to 85°C). EdgeOptic compatible modules for both variants operate at 0 to 70°C commercial range. The FTLX6872MCC is the more commonly deployed variant.
Is the FTLX6872MCC being replaced by the Coherent FTLX6882MCC?
Coherent (formerly II-VI/Finisar) has released the FTLX6882MCC as a newer generation tunable DWDM SFP+. The FTLX6882 has different receiver characteristics and EEPROM coding, so platform compatibility should be verified before substituting for the FTLX6872MCC. Coherent has been issuing EOL notices on parts of the inherited Finisar portfolio, though the FTLX6872MCC remains available from compatible suppliers.
