Finisar compatible FTLX6872MCC Description

EdgeOptic's FTLX6872MCC compatible is a Finisar (now Coherent Corp.) coded tunable 10 Gb/s DWDM SFP+ with a limiting APD receiver and a built-in decision circuit, designed as the standard interface for 10GbE switching and routing platforms. The module covers the full C-Band tunable range on the ITU 50 GHz grid and matches the FTLX6872MCC EEPROM identifier, so host systems that recognize the limiting-receiver part number bring the optic up 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 limiting APD receiver with built-in decision circuit is the standard architecture expected by 10GbE switching and routing platforms across major vendors, where the host port consumes a digitized signal directly from the optic. This distinguishes FTLX6872 from the linear-receiver FTLX6871, which is the variant used in OTN transport and transponder-based DWDM systems. Engineers should confirm the target host platform's transceiver compatibility list expects a limiting receiver, and verify channel plan provisioning against the line system before commissioning.

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 FTLX6872MCC and FTLX6872MNC?

Both share the same optical specifications and the limiting APD receiver architecture. The suffix encodes the OEM-side temperature grade: MCC is the commercial-temperature build, MNC is the extended-temperature build for outdoor cabinets and harsh-environment installations. EdgeOptic's compatible parts for both SKUs operate at 0 to 70 °C case temperature. If the deployment specifically requires the OEM's extended-temperature qualification, source the OEM-branded MNC variant directly.

Is the FTLX6872MCC being replaced by the Coherent FTLX6882MCC?

Coherent has introduced the FTLX6882MCC as a newer-generation tunable DWDM SFP+ in the same family. The two parts have different receiver characteristics and different EEPROM coding, so they are not drop-in interchangeable. Verify host platform compatibility before substituting one for the other, and verify current OEM availability of FTLX6872MCC directly with Coherent or your distributor before placing a long-lifecycle order.
