Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AFBR-5701APZ is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Data Rate: 1.25Gbps
• Wavelength: 850nm
• Connector Type: LC Duplex
• Mounting Type: Pluggable, SFP
• Supply Voltage: 3.3V
• Application: Ethernet

The AFBR-5701APZ-C qualifies as a substitute based on matching wavelength (850nm), connector type (LC), mounting type (Pluggable, SFP), and application (Ethernet). This substitute is manufactured by ProLabs and maintains compatibility with systems designed for the original Broadcom component.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AFBR-5701APZ-C is an active product manufactured by ProLabs and represents a viable substitute for the obsolete AFBR-5701APZ. Both components share identical HTSUS classification and maintain RoHS compliance. The substitute part is currently in active production with substantial inventory availability (8703 units), providing supply chain reliability for replacement and new system deployments.

Selection of the AFBR-5701APZ-C should be based on system compatibility verification with the host equipment and confirmation that the ProLabs implementation meets the specific electrical and mechanical requirements of the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes AFBR-5701APZ-C a valid substitute for AFBR-5701APZ?

A: Both components operate at 850nm wavelength, feature LC connectors, utilize SFP pluggable form factor, and are designed for Ethernet applications. These parameters define the substitution compatibility criteria.

Q: Does the connector type difference (LC Duplex vs. LC) affect compatibility?

A: The LC Duplex designation on the original part and LC designation on the substitute both refer to the same physical connector standard used in SFP modules. This represents a nomenclature variation rather than a functional difference.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The original AFBR-5701APZ is obsolete, meaning it is no longer manufactured. The AFBR-5701APZ-C is active production, ensuring long-term availability for procurement and system support.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance. The original is ROHS3 compliant, while the substitute is RoHS compliant. Both share the same HTSUS tariff classification, indicating equivalent regulatory treatment.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The original AFBR-5701APZ uses standard packaging, while the AFBR-5701APZ-C is supplied in retail packaging. This affects handling and storage procedures but does not impact functional compatibility.
