Finisar offers a wide range of optical transceivers including SFP, SFP+, QSFP, QSFP28, and XFP modules, with prices varying by data rate, fiber type, and distance.

Common Finisar Optical Module Models

SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) Modules

• Designed for 1G to 10G Ethernet and Fibre Channel applications.
• Examples: FTLX1471D3BCL (10GBASE-LR, single-mode, up to 10 km) and FTLF8536P4BCV (25G over multimode fiber) .
• Typical use: short- and long-distance connectivity in data centers and enterprise networks. SFP+ Modules
• Enhanced SFP supporting 10G to 25G data rates.
• Compliant with IEEE 802.3ae (10GBASE-LR/LW) and IEEE 802.3by (25G) standards .
• Suitable for high-speed Ethernet links up to 10 km (single-mode) or shorter distances over multimode fiber. QSFP and QSFP28 Modules
• QSFP: 40G Ethernet, QSFP28: 100G Ethernet.
• Used for high-density, high-bandwidth data center interconnects.
• Supports both multimode and single-mode fiber, with distances ranging from 100 m to 10 km or more . XFP Modules
• Typically used for 10G Ethernet and Fibre Channel.
• Supports distances from 300 m (multimode) to 80 km (single-mode) . Active Optical Cables (AOC) and Direct Attach Copper (DAC)
• Pre-terminated solutions for short-range, low-latency connections.
• Available in 10G, 40G, 56G, and 100G options . Optical Sensor Modules

Key Considerations

• Compatibility: Ensure the module matches your switch or router vendor specifications.
• Fiber Type: Single-mode for long distances, multimode for short distances.
• Data Rate: Choose modules that support your network speed (1G, 10G, 25G, 40G, 100G).
• Distance: Verify the module's maximum supported distance aligns with your network requirements.
• Original vs Compatible: Original Finisar modules offer guaranteed performance, while compatible alternatives may reduce cost but require careful verification.
