Finisar FTLX8511D3-IT 10Gb/s XFP 300m 850nm Duplex LC MMF Transceiver

Product Description

The Finisar FTLX8511D3-IT is a high-performance optical transceiver module designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) and Fibre Channel applications, particularly in environments requiring extended temperature resilience. This XFP (10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable Plus) module is optimized for short-reach communication over multimode fiber (MMF), supporting distances up to 300 meters. The 850nm wavelength is standard for short-reach MMF optics, providing a cost-effective solution for high-bandwidth connectivity within industrial settings or harsh environments. The module features a duplex LC connector, the industry-standard interface for fiber optic connections, ensuring easy and reliable physical linking. Its XFP form factor allows for hot-plugging, meaning it can be installed or removed without disrupting network operations. The 'IT' designation typically signifies support for an industrial temperature range (e.g., -40°C to 85°C), making it suitable for deployment in outdoor cabinets, factory floors, or other locations with significant temperature fluctuations. Compliant with the XFP Multi-Source Agreement (MSA), the FTLX8511D3-IT ensures interoperability with a wide range of networking equipment from various vendors. It is designed to deliver robust performance and signal integrity for demanding applications where standard temperature-rated components may not suffice. Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) is typically supported, providing valuable real-time data on the transceiver's operational status, crucial for monitoring in challenging conditions.
