Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AFBR-5715APZ-CS5 is determined by alignment of the following critical parameters:

Wavelength: Both the main part and substitute operate at 850nm, ensuring compatibility with existing optical infrastructure designed for this wavelength.

Connector Type: The LC connector standard is maintained across both parts, allowing physical compatibility with installed patch panels and cabling systems.

Mounting Type: Both components utilize the pluggable SFP form factor, ensuring mechanical compatibility with SFP-equipped transceiver slots.

Supply Voltage Compatibility: The substitute part operates at 3.3V, which falls within the operational envelope of systems designed for the main part's 3.135V to 3.465V range.

Data Rate Consideration: The main part operates at 1.25Gbps while the substitute operates at 1Gbps. The substitute's lower data rate is compatible with systems accepting the main part's specification, as it represents a conservative operational parameter.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AFBR-5715APZ-CS5-C serves as an active substitute for the obsolete AFBR-5715APZ-CS5. The substitute part maintains critical optical and mechanical parameters including 850nm wavelength, LC connector configuration, and SFP pluggable form factor.

The substitute part is classified as Active, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete status of the main part. The AFBR-5715APZ-CS5-C carries RoHS Compliance and REACH Unaffected certifications, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

The substitute operates at 1Gbps, which is compatible with 1.25Gbps-capable systems. The 3.3V supply voltage of the substitute falls within the acceptable operating range of the main part's 3.135V to 3.465V specification.

Selection of the AFBR-5715APZ-CS5-C is appropriate for replacement applications where the main part is no longer available and where the lower data rate specification is acceptable for the intended application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AFBR-5715APZ-CS5-C directly replace the AFBR-5715APZ-CS5 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts share the same 850nm wavelength, LC connector type, and SFP pluggable form factor. The substitute's 3.3V supply voltage is compatible with the main part's 3.135V to 3.465V operating range. Physical and electrical compatibility is established.

Q: What is the significance of the data rate difference between 1.25Gbps and 1Gbps?

A: The substitute operates at a lower data rate. Systems designed to accept the main part's 1.25Gbps specification will operate the substitute at 1Gbps without issue. The substitute is suitable for applications where 1Gbps throughput meets performance requirements.

Q: Why is the main part listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured or supported by Broadcom Limited. The AFBR-5715APZ-CS5-C, classified as Active, provides continued availability for equivalent functionality.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The substitute part carries RoHS Compliance and REACH Unaffected certifications. The main part's compliance status is not specified in available documentation. The substitute meets current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What does the packaging difference mean for procurement?

A: The substitute is supplied in Tray packaging, which is standard for bulk procurement and inventory management. This does not affect the component's electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Is the LC Duplex designation equivalent to LC for connector compatibility?

A: Both designations refer to LC-type connectors. The connector physical interface is compatible between the two parts for installation in LC-equipped SFP slots.
