AFBR-79EQPZ Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AFBR-79EQPZ is a QSFP+ transceiver module manufactured by Broadcom Limited, designed for 40Gbps optical communication in telecom and datacom systems. Operating at 850nm wavelength with 3.3V supply voltage, this module features an MTP® (MPO) connector in a pluggable QSFP+ form factor.

The AFBR-79EQPZ is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is essential for system designers and procurement teams requiring continued access to compatible 40Gbps 850nm transceiver functionality or planning component transitions in active production environments.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AFBR-79EQPZ is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Data Rate: 40Gbps (exact match required)
• Wavelength: 850nm (exact match required)
• Voltage - Supply: 3.3V (exact match required)
• Connector Type: MTP® (MPO) or MPO (functionally equivalent)
• Mounting Type: Pluggable, QSFP+ or QSFP (form factor compatibility)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement)

The AFBR-79EQPZ-C meets all substitution criteria. Both parts operate at identical electrical specifications (40Gbps, 850nm, 3.3V) and share compatible connector and mounting configurations. The substitute part is manufactured by ATGBICS and maintains ROHS3 compliance.

Parameter Comparison

The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring availability for new designs and component replenishment.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, meeting regulatory requirements for electronic component deployment. The AFBR-79EQPZ-C is available in retail packaging with confirmed inventory of 10,328 units.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AFBR-79EQPZ-C replace the AFBR-79EQPZ in existing systems?

A: Yes. Both parts operate at 40Gbps, 850nm wavelength, and 3.3V supply voltage with compatible MTP/MPO connectors and QSFP+/QSFP form factors. Electrical and optical specifications are identical.

Q: What is the difference between MTP® and MPO connectors?

A: MTP® is a trademarked variant of the MPO connector standard. Both are mechanically and optically compatible for transceiver applications.

Q: Why is the main part listed as obsolete?

A: The AFBR-79EQPZ has reached end-of-life status from Broadcom Limited. The AFBR-79EQPZ-C provides equivalent functionality from an active manufacturer.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The AFBR-79EQPZ packaging is not specified in available data. The AFBR-79EQPZ-C is supplied in retail packaging.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental and compliance standards?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant. The main part specifies Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). The substitute part's MSL is vendor undefined.
