Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AFBR-5715PZ-NT5 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Wavelength: 850nm (multimode fiber standard)
• Connector Type: LC (duplex or simplex configurations)
• Mounting Type: Pluggable, SFP form factor
• Voltage Supply Range: Compatible with 3.3V nominal operation

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

• Data Rate: 1Gbps or higher (backward compatible)
• Applications: Ethernet or General Purpose

The substitute part AFBR-5715PZ-NT5-C meets the primary compatibility criteria through matching wavelength (850nm), connector type (LC), and SFP form factor. The substitute operates at 1Gbps, which is compatible with the original 1.25Gbps specification. The supply voltage of 3.3V falls within acceptable operating parameters for systems designed for the original component's 3.135V to 3.465V range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AFBR-5715PZ-NT5-C is an active substitute for the obsolete AFBR-5715PZ-NT5. The substitute component is manufactured by ATGBICS and carries Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and support.

Compliance and Certification Status:

• AFBR-5715PZ-NT5-C is RoHS Compliant
• AFBR-5715PZ-NT5-C carries REACH Unaffected status
• AFBR-5715PZ-NT5-C is classified under ECCN EAR99

The substitute part maintains compatibility across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The 1Gbps data rate of the substitute is operationally compatible with systems originally specified for 1.25Gbps operation. The 3.3V supply voltage is within the acceptable range for the original component's power supply specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AFBR-5715PZ-NT5-C directly replace the AFBR-5715PZ-NT5 in existing systems?

A: Yes. Both components share identical wavelength (850nm), connector type (LC), and SFP form factor. The substitute operates at 1Gbps, which is compatible with systems designed for the original 1.25Gbps specification. The 3.3V supply voltage is within the acceptable operating range of the original component.

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

A: The substitute component operates at 1Gbps, which is lower than the original 1.25Gbps specification. This represents a backward-compatible substitution, as the substitute will function in systems designed for the higher data rate. System performance will be limited to the substitute's 1Gbps capability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: The original AFBR-5715PZ-NT5 is specified with a dash (-) packaging designation. The substitute AFBR-5715PZ-NT5-C is supplied in Tray packaging. Both components use the SFP pluggable form factor and are mechanically compatible.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The AFBR-5715PZ-NT5-C is RoHS Compliant and carries REACH Unaffected status. The component is classified under ECCN EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: Why is the original AFBR-5715PZ-NT5 marked as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that the component is no longer manufactured or supported by Broadcom Limited. The AFBR-5715PZ-NT5-C substitute is an active product with ongoing availability and manufacturer support.
