• Supply Voltage: 3.3V (exact match required)
• Connector Type: LC Duplex (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Pluggable, SFP+ (exact match required)
• Application: Fibre Channel Links (exact match required)

The FTLF8529P4BCV meets all substitution criteria, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FTLF8529P4BCV serves as a direct functional equivalent to the FTLF8529P3BCV for Fibre Channel Link applications. Both modules share identical electrical performance specifications (14.025Gbps, 850nm, 3.3V) and mechanical form factors (LC Duplex, SFP+ pluggable).

The FTLF8529P4BCV carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, providing enhanced environmental compliance compared to the RoHS Compliant status of the original part. Both modules maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, indicating equivalent handling and storage requirements.

Selection between these parts should be based on availability and procurement timelines, as both meet the technical requirements for direct substitution in existing Fibre Channel Link systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FTLF8529P4BCV replace the FTLF8529P3BCV in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both modules operate at identical data rates (14.025Gbps), wavelengths (850nm), supply voltages (3.3V), and use the same LC Duplex connector and SFP+ form factor. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is complete.

Q: What is the significance of the different product status designations?

A: The FTLF8529P3BCV is classified as Obsolete, indicating it is no longer manufactured. The FTLF8529P4BCV is designated Not For New Designs, meaning it remains available but is not recommended for new system development. For maintenance and replacement purposes, the FTLF8529P4BCV is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are there differences in RoHS compliance between these parts?

A: The FTLF8529P3BCV meets RoHS Compliant standards, while the FTLF8529P4BCV meets ROHS3 Compliant standards. Both satisfy environmental regulatory requirements; ROHS3 represents a more recent compliance standard.

Q: Do these modules have different handling requirements?

A: No. Both modules carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, requiring identical storage, handling, and transportation conditions.

Q: Are there any differences in the base product number?

A: Both modules share the base product number FTLF8529, with the suffix designating specific manufacturer variants. This common base number confirms functional equivalence.
