Finisar FTLX3811M355 10Gb/s XFP 80km Duplex LC SMF Transceiver

Product Description

The Finisar FTLX3811M355 is a high-performance XFP (10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable) transceiver module designed for long-reach optical networking applications. It supports data rates of 10.3125 Gbps, making it suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) and other high-speed networking standards. This module is specifically engineered for extended transmission distances, capable of operating over up to 80 kilometers of single-mode fiber (SMF). This makes it an ideal solution for backbone connections, metro area networks (MANs), and other scenarios requiring robust connectivity over significant geographical distances. The transceiver operates at a wavelength of 1550nm, which is optimized for long-haul transmission on single-mode fiber, minimizing signal attenuation and dispersion. It features a standard duplex LC connector, ensuring broad compatibility with network switches, routers, and other equipment that support XFP modules. The XFP form factor is hot-pluggable, allowing for installation and replacement without the need to power down the host device, which is critical for maintaining network uptime and simplifying maintenance procedures. In addition to its extended reach capabilities, the FTLX3811M355 typically incorporates Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) or Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) functionality. This feature provides real-time insights into the transceiver's operational status, including transmit and receive optical power levels, temperature, and laser bias current. These diagnostics are essential for network administrators to monitor link performance, troubleshoot potential issues proactively, and ensure the reliability of the optical network. Finisar is a recognized leader in optical technology, and this transceiver reflects their commitment to providing high-quality, reliable components for demanding network infrastructures.
