Product Features
Technical Overview
This optical transceiver operates at an 850nm wavelength over multimode fiber, optimized for data center interconnects and high-performance computing networks. It supports a maximum link length of 100 meters on OM4 MMF, making it suitable for intra-rack and inter-rack connections within a data hall.
The module incorporates a Digital Diagnostics Monitoring Interface (DDMI) that provides real-time monitoring of temperature, voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, and receive power. This feature enhances network management and troubleshooting capabilities. Power dissipation remains below 2.5W with a single 3.3V supply, contributing to energy-efficient operation.
Key Product Advantages
The FTLC9555QEPM combines high-density connectivity with robust performance monitoring, reducing operational complexity in modern data centers. Its parallel optics architecture splits 100GbE into four 25Gb/s lanes, balancing speed with reliability across multimode fiber infrastructure.
Enhanced Network Visibility
DDMI enables proactive monitoring of optical parameters, helping administrators detect potential issues before they impact network performance.
- Real-time temperature and voltage tracking
- Laser bias current monitoring
- Transmit and receive power measurements
Energy-Efficient Design
Low power consumption and RoHS-6 compliance align with sustainability goals while maintaining full 100GbE throughput.
- < 2.5W power dissipation
- Single 3.3V power supply
- Commercial temperature range support
Deployment / Use Cases
This transceiver is ideal for 100GbE switch-to-switch, switch-to-server, and storage area network connections within data centers. Its 100-meter reach on OM4 MMF supports typical distances for top-of-rack and end-of-row architectures.
Common applications include spine-leaf network fabrics, high-performance computing clusters, and cloud infrastructure backbones. The hot-pluggable form factor allows for seamless upgrades and replacements without disrupting adjacent network segments.
Data Center Interconnects
Connect leaf switches to spine switches or aggregate switches within a single data hall, leveraging the MPO-12 connector for high-density cabling.
Server and Storage Connectivity
Link high-performance servers and storage arrays to 100GbE switches, supporting bandwidth-intensive workloads like virtualization and big data analytics.
