The order Fn(X,Y,ω) has the countable chain condition for forcing whenever Y is countable. For an uncountable family of conditions, apply the Delta-system lemma to the finite domains. On their common finite root there are only countably many assignments, so thin to an uncountable family agreeing on that root. Any two conditions now have a compatible union. For binary Cohen forcing, there are only finitely many root assignments.
