Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FTLD10CE1C is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Wavelength: 850nm (multimode fiber standard)
• Connector Type: MTP® (MPO) (physical interface compatibility)
• Mounting Type: Pluggable, CXP (form factor and slot compatibility)
• Voltage - Supply: 3.3V (power supply compatibility)
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant (regulatory requirement)

The FTLD10CE3C qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical parameters. While the FTLD10CE3C operates at a higher data rate (135.6Gbps versus 10.5Gbs), it maintains full compatibility with the electrical, mechanical, and regulatory requirements of systems designed for the FTLD10CE1C.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FTLD10CE3C is a qualified substitute for the FTLD10CE1C based on matching electrical specifications (3.3V supply), mechanical compatibility (MTP® (MPO) connector, pluggable CXP form factor), and regulatory compliance (RoHS Compliant, MSL 1). The FTLD10CE3C maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and support compared to the obsolete FTLD10CE1C. Both components share identical wavelength (850nm) and connector specifications, confirming physical and optical compatibility within existing system architectures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FTLD10CE3C directly replace the FTLD10CE1C in existing systems?

A: Yes. Both components share identical wavelength (850nm), connector type (MTP® (MPO)), mounting type (pluggable CXP), and supply voltage (3.3V). Physical and electrical compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the significance of the higher data rate in the FTLD10CE3C?

A: The FTLD10CE3C operates at 135.6Gbps compared to the FTLD10CE1C at 10.5Gbs. This higher capability does not prevent substitution; the component remains backward compatible with systems designed for lower data rates.

Q: Are there any regulatory differences between these parts?

A: Both components are RoHS Compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level. No regulatory barriers to substitution exist.

Q: Why is the FTLD10CE1C listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured by Finisar Corporation. The FTLD10CE3C, manufactured by Coherent and carrying active product status, represents the current equivalent solution.

Q: Are connector types interchangeable between these parts?

A: Yes. Both components use MTP® (MPO) connectors in pluggable CXP form factor, ensuring mechanical interchangeability.
