Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AFBR-89CEHZ is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Data Rate: 103.125 Gbps (tolerance range 103.1 Gbps to 103.125 Gbps)
• Wavelength: 850 nm (exact match required)
• Connector Type: MTP® (MPO) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Pluggable, QSFP28 (exact match required)
• Voltage Supply Range: Overlapping operational range (minimum 3.1V, maximum 3.465V or higher)
• Application: Ethernet and/or Telecom/Datacom Systems
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (minimum requirement)
• ECCN Classification: 5A991B1 (export control alignment)

The identified substitute parts meet all primary substitution criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically compatible with the AFBR-89CEHZ for direct replacement in qualifying applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

FTLC9558REPM (Coherent): This substitute part is actively manufactured and maintains full ROHS3 compliance with matching ECCN classification. The data rate specification of 103.1 Gbps aligns within acceptable tolerance to the 103.125 Gbps requirement. Voltage supply range encompasses the AFBR-89CEHZ operational window. Moisture sensitivity level of 1 provides superior handling characteristics compared to the original part's MSL 3 rating. This part is suitable for direct replacement in active procurement scenarios.

JPQ81CS1MOC000SR4 (Jabil Photonics): This substitute part is actively manufactured and maintains full ROHS3 compliance with matching ECCN classification. The data rate specification of 103.125 Gbps provides exact alignment with the original part. Voltage supply range of 3.1V ~ 3.5V encompasses the AFBR-89CEHZ operational window. Moisture sensitivity level of 1 provides superior handling characteristics. This part is suitable for direct replacement in active procurement scenarios.

Both substitute parts address the Last Time Buy status of the AFBR-89CEHZ and provide active product availability with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FTLC9558REPM and JPQ81CS1MOC000SR4 be used interchangeably with AFBR-89CEHZ?

A: Both parts meet the electrical and mechanical substitution criteria. The FTLC9558REPM operates at 103.1 Gbps and the JPQ81CS1MOC000SR4 at 103.125 Gbps, both within acceptable tolerance for 100G Ethernet applications. Both feature identical connector types (MTP® MPO), mounting configurations (QSFP28), wavelength (850nm), and compliance certifications. Interchangeability is determined by specific system requirements and qualification procedures.

Q: What is the significance of the Moisture Sensitivity Level difference?

A: The AFBR-89CEHZ carries MSL 3 (168 Hours), requiring controlled storage and handling conditions. Both substitute parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating superior moisture tolerance and reduced handling restrictions. This represents an improvement in supply chain flexibility and storage requirements.

Q: Are the voltage supply ranges compatible?

A: The AFBR-89CEHZ operates at 3.1V ~ 3.465V. The FTLC9558REPM operates at 3.135V ~ 3.465V, and the JPQ81CS1MOC000SR4 operates at 3.1V ~ 3.5V. Both substitute parts encompass the original part's voltage window, ensuring compatible power supply operation.

Q: What does Last Time Buy status mean for the AFBR-89CEHZ?

A: Last Time Buy indicates that Broadcom has discontinued this part and will not manufacture additional units beyond existing inventory. Substitute parts with Active product status provide continued availability for new designs and ongoing system requirements.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The AFBR-89CEHZ, FTLC9558REPM, and JPQ81CS1MOC000SR4 are all ROHS3 compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Q: Do the substitute parts support the same applications?

A: The AFBR-89CEHZ supports Ethernet and Telecom/Datacom Systems applications. Both substitute parts support Ethernet applications. System-specific requirements should be evaluated to confirm application compatibility.
