Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AFBR-5715LZ are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

• Data Rate: 1.25Gbps (Ethernet standard)
• Wavelength: 850nm (multimode fiber standard)
• Connector Type: LC Duplex (physical interface requirement)
• Mounting Type: Pluggable, SFP (form factor requirement)
• Voltage - Supply: 3.3V (electrical compatibility)

The substitute part AFBR-5715LZ-C, manufactured by ProLabs, maintains compatibility across these core parameters. This part is designated as an Avago AFBR-5715LZ compatible module, indicating direct functional equivalence for Ethernet 850nm SFP applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AFBR-5715LZ-C represents an active substitute for the obsolete AFBR-5715LZ. Selection should be based on the following factors:

• Product Status: The original AFBR-5715LZ is obsolete. The AFBR-5715LZ-C is active and currently available, making it suitable for new procurement and system replacements.
• Compliance: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance. The original part is ROHS3 compliant, while the substitute is RoHS compliant. Both share identical HTSUS classification (8517.62.0090), indicating equivalent tariff treatment.
• Form Factor Compatibility: Both modules are SFP pluggable transceivers with 850nm wavelength and LC connectors, ensuring mechanical and optical compatibility in existing SFP slots.
• Availability: The AFBR-5715LZ-C is available in active inventory (8776 Pcs), whereas the original part is obsolete.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AFBR-5715LZ-C be used as a direct replacement for the AFBR-5715LZ?

A: Yes. Both modules are 850nm SFP transceivers with LC connectors designed for 1.25Gbps Ethernet applications. The AFBR-5715LZ-C is designated as Avago AFBR-5715LZ compatible, confirming functional equivalence for SFP slot compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between ROHS3 and RoHS compliance?

A: ROHS3 refers to compliance with the third iteration of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive. Both the original and substitute parts meet RoHS requirements, ensuring hazardous substance restrictions are satisfied for their respective manufacturing periods.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between the main part and substitute?

A: The AFBR-5715LZ-C is supplied in retail packaging, whereas the original AFBR-5715LZ packaging specification is not detailed in the provided data. Both are SFP pluggable modules with identical form factors.

Q: What parameters must match for SFP transceiver substitution?

A: Critical matching parameters include wavelength (850nm), connector type (LC), mounting type (SFP pluggable), and data rate (1.25Gbps). These parameters ensure optical, mechanical, and electrical compatibility within Ethernet infrastructure.

Q: Is the AFBR-5715LZ-C TAA compliant?

A: The AFBR-5715LZ-C is identified as TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant in its description, making it suitable for U.S. government procurement applications where TAA compliance is required.
