The Avago AFBR-57F5PZ SFP+ transceiver reduces the number of ports required for inter-switch connectivity by half compared to existing 8 Gigabit Fibre Channel solutions and operates at essentially the same power level. The SFP+ module's transmitter and receiver can operate at different data rates, as is often required during Fibre Channel rate negotiation. The module maintains backward compatibility with legacy 8 Gigabit and 4 Gigabit Fibre Channel devices, simplifying design migration.
The AFBR-57F5PZ transceiver incorporates the high reliability of Avago's 850 nm VCSL (Vertical-Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) technology and PIN detector technology. This combination ensures that the multi-speed SFP+ module is compatible with FC-PI-5 and 16G/8G/4G Fibre Channel specifications. The module will respond to both the selected speed pin and control bit inputs, simplifying auto-negotiation algorithms for Fibre Channel hosting, design, and software.
Other features:
- Wide operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C and wide voltage range of 3.3 V ± 5%.
- Lead-free and LSDEEE compliant.
- Digital diagnostic features according to SFF-8472.
- Duplex LC optical connector interface compliant with ANSI TIA/EIA604-10 (FOCIS 10A).
- Improved EMI performance for high-port-density applications.
