The Finisar FTLF8529P4BCV-HD is a multirate SFP+ optical transceiver covering 4G, 8G, and 16G Fibre Channel SAN applications. It is a high-rotation item in our optics catalog, well suited to resellers and system integrators supporting Brocade- and Cisco-class fabric environments. Operating at 850nm over multimode fiber, it delivers up to 100m reach on OM3 cabling at 16G rates; reach figures assume OM3 MMF, so verify the customer’s cable plant grade during project planning.
Stock, Batches & Ordering
We carry this module as a regular stock line with consistent batch sourcing, allowing mixed-quantity orders to ship from the same lot wherever possible. This matters for integrators deploying multi-unit SAN upgrades, where revision and batch consistency reduce qualification effort. Resellers can consolidate this SKU with other Finisar and third-party optics on the same export shipment.
Quality & Compliance
Units ship with a standard reseller warranty; any DOA or defective units are handled through our streamlined RMA process with replacement or credit options. The product is RoHS compliant and manufactured in a metal enclosure for low EMI. Export documentation is available to support CE/FCC-related market requirements in overseas deliveries. All modules are functionally tested before packing to minimize inbound inspection workload for wholesale buyers.
Suitability
This is an MSA-compliant SFP+ module that generally works with Fibre Channel switch ports supporting 16G FC SFP+ optics. Some platforms require coded or firmware-matched modules — confirm the end customer’s switch vendor compatibility list before placing bulk orders. The standard 0–70°C commercial part covers most data center deployments, while the 85°C industrial version is available for harsher environments on request.

Deployment Notes for Integrators
- As an MSA-compliant SFP+ module, it generally interoperates with Fibre Channel switch ports supporting 16G FC SFP+ optics; always cross-check the switch vendor’s compatibility list, as some platforms require coded or firmware-matched modules.
- This is the short-reach 850nm MMF variant within Finisar’s FC transceiver family — appropriate for in-rack and adjacent-rack SAN links, while long-distance fabric links require single-mode alternatives.
- When quoting projects, choose between the standard 0–70°C commercial part and the 85°C industrial version based on the deployment environment; restricted-optics switch platforms may require vendor-coded equivalents.
