FINISAR FTLF8529P4BCV-HD SFP+ Optical Transceiver
The Finisar FTLF8529P4BCV-HD is a multirate SFP+ optical transceiver built for 4G, 8G, and 16G Fibre Channel SAN links, making it a practical choice for storage integrators and resellers servicing Brocade- and Cisco-class fabric environments. Operating at 850nm over multimode fiber, it delivers up to 100m reach on OM3 cabling at 16G rates. Note that reach figures assume OM3 MMF; verify your cable plant grade before deployment.

Good to know
- As an MSA-compliant SFP+ module, it generally works with Fibre Channel switch ports supporting 16G FC SFP+ optics; always confirm your switch vendor’s compatibility list, as some platforms require coded or firmware-matched modules.
- Within Finisar’s FC transceiver family, this is the short-reach 850nm MMF variant — suited to in-rack and adjacent-rack SAN links, while long-distance fabric links require single-mode alternatives.
- For sourcing, decide between the standard 0–70°C commercial part and the 85°C industrial version based on your deployment environment; higher-end switches with restricted optics may require vendor-coded equivalents.
For tray and reel pricing, current stock by part number and date code, and volume discounts on bulk orders, request a bulk quotation.
