FTLC1182RDNA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FTLC1182RDNA is a transceiver module manufactured by Finisar Corporation, designed for optical transmission and reception at 103Gbps. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for system maintenance, redesign, and procurement planning. Substitute parts must maintain compatibility across electrical specifications, optical performance parameters, and physical form factors to ensure seamless integration into existing or new applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FTLC1182RDNA are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• Data Rate: 103Gbps operation capability
• Mounting Type: CFP form factor
• Transceiver Function: Bidirectional optical transmission and reception
• Regulatory Classification: ECCN 5A991B5A and HTSUS 8471.80.1000 compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 rating

The FTLC1183RDNA qualifies as a substitute based on matching data rate, CFP mounting type, transceiver functionality, and regulatory classifications. Differences in modulation technology (EML vs. DFB), wavelength, and connector type represent design variations within the same functional category and do not preclude substitution when system architecture permits.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FTLC1183RDNA is available as an active product from Coherent, providing supply continuity for applications requiring 103Gbps optical transceiver functionality in CFP form factor. Selection of this substitute is supported by:

• Matching data rate specification (103.1Gbps vs. 103Gbps)
• Identical mounting type (CFP)
• Identical MSL rating (1 - Unlimited)
• Identical regulatory classifications (ECCN 5A991B5A, HTSUS 8471.80.1000)
• Active product status ensuring ongoing availability and support

The FTLC1183RDNA carries RoHS compliance certification, which may provide additional environmental and regulatory advantages in new designs or system upgrades.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FTLC1183RDNA directly replace the FTLC1182RDNA in existing systems?

A: Direct replacement is possible when system architecture accommodates the specified differences: wavelength (1310nm), connector type (SC/LC), and supply voltage (3.3V). Mechanical compatibility is assured through identical CFP mounting type.

Q: What are the primary differences between these two parts?

A: The FTLC1182RDNA uses EML (Externally Modulated Laser) technology, while the FTLC1183RDNA uses DFB (Distributed Feedback Laser) technology. The FTLC1183RDNA specifies 1310nm wavelength and SC/LC connectors, whereas the FTLC1182RDNA specifications for these parameters are not provided. Both operate at approximately 103Gbps and use CFP packaging.

Q: Why is the FTLC1182RDNA obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence typically results from manufacturer discontinuation decisions. The availability of the FTLC1183RDNA as an active alternative supports continued system support and new deployments.

Q: Are there any packaging or handling differences?

A: Both parts carry identical MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling.

Q: What regulatory certifications apply to these parts?

A: Both parts are classified under ECCN 5A991B5A and HTSUS 8471.80.1000. The FTLC1183RDNA additionally carries RoHS compliance certification.
