What is the supported data rate of this transceiver?

This module is specified for 10Gb/s operation, aligning with 10GBASE-SR requirements. The 10Gb/s data rate makes it suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in data centers and campus networks that use multimode fiber. It should be paired with switch or router ports that are designed for 10Gb/s SFP+ optics.

Which fiber type and maximum distance are supported?

The FTLX8571D3BCL-ME is described for use on multimode fiber, with a reach of up to 300 meters. This makes it appropriate for short-reach connections within and between communications rooms that fall within this distance limit on MMF. Distances beyond 300 meters require a different optical specification.

What connector interface does the FTLX8571D3BCL-ME use?

This transceiver uses an LC duplex connector interface. The LC duplex format is common in contemporary multimode fiber cabling systems and patch panels. When integrating the module, ensure that patch cords and panels are equipped with LC duplex ports to maintain proper connectivity.

At what wavelength does this SFP+ transceiver operate?

The module is specified as a 10Gb/s 850nm MMF solution, indicating operation at an 850nm optical wavelength. This wavelength is standard for 10GBASE-SR optics over multimode fiber. When designing links, it should be matched with MMF cabling and components suitable for 850nm transmission.
