Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the AFBR-5701LZ 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 substitute part AFBR-5701LZ-C meets these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Both parts operate at 850nm wavelength with LC duplex connectors in SFP form factor, ensuring physical and functional compatibility within Ethernet systems designed for this specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AFBR-5701LZ-C is listed as an active product with current manufacturing status, providing supply chain continuity for applications requiring 850nm SFP transceiver modules. Both the main part and substitute maintain RoHS compliance, with the substitute offering ROHS3 compliance matching the original specification. The AFBR-5701LZ-C is manufactured by ProLabs as a compatible alternative to the Broadcom original, maintaining identical wavelength, connector, and form factor specifications required for direct substitution in Ethernet systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AFBR-5701LZ-C be used as a direct replacement for AFBR-5701LZ?

A: Yes. Both modules operate at 850nm wavelength with LC duplex connectors in SFP form factor, meeting the core electrical and mechanical requirements for Ethernet applications at 1.25Gbps.

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

A: The AFBR-5701LZ is obsolete, while AFBR-5701LZ-C is active. Active status indicates current manufacturing and availability, making it suitable for procurement when the original part is no longer available.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The AFBR-5701LZ is supplied in bulk packaging, while AFBR-5701LZ-C is supplied in retail package format. This affects handling and storage but does not impact functional compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The AFBR-5701LZ meets ROHS3 compliance, and the AFBR-5701LZ-C meets RoHS compliance. Both share the same HTSUS classification code (8517.62.0090).

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Wavelength (850nm), connector type (LC duplex), mounting type (SFP pluggable), and application (Ethernet) are the primary parameters governing substitution compatibility for this product category.
