Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AFCT-5715APZ is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Wavelength: 1310nm (infrared transmission band)
• Connector Type: LC (required for physical compatibility)
• Mounting Type: Pluggable, SFP or SFP28 form factor
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 or equivalent compliance status
• Voltage Supply Range: Compatible with 3.14V ~ 3.47V or 3.3V operation

The substitute parts identified maintain compatibility across these core electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional equivalence within the Ethernet transceiver module category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

AFCT-5715APZ-C is the primary substitute for direct replacement of the obsolete AFCT-5715APZ. This part is manufactured by ProLabs as a compatible transceiver module with identical 1310nm wavelength and LC connector configuration. The AFCT-5715APZ-C maintains active product status and RoHS compliance, providing long-term availability for Ethernet applications requiring SFP form factor modules.

AFCT-725SMZ represents an alternative substitute with higher data rate capability (25Gbps versus 1.25Gbd). This part shares the 1310nm wavelength and LC connector specifications but operates in SFP28 form factor. Selection of AFCT-725SMZ requires verification of host equipment compatibility with SFP28 modules and higher data rate operation. This part is classified as Last Time Buy, indicating limited future availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AFCT-725SMZ be used as a direct replacement for AFCT-5715APZ?

A: AFCT-725SMZ shares the 1310nm wavelength and LC connector type but differs in form factor (SFP28 versus SFP) and data rate (25Gbps versus 1.25Gbd). Physical compatibility requires host equipment designed for SFP28 modules. Functional compatibility depends on system support for 25Gbps operation.

Q: What is the primary advantage of AFCT-5715APZ-C over AFCT-725SMZ?

A: AFCT-5715APZ-C maintains identical SFP form factor and is designed as a direct compatible replacement for the original AFCT-5715APZ. It carries active product status, ensuring continued availability. AFCT-725SMZ is classified as Last Time Buy, indicating limited procurement window.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. AFCT-5715APZ-C and AFCT-725SMZ both meet RoHS compliance requirements (RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant respectively), matching the original part's ROHS3 Compliant status.

Q: What voltage supply range is required for substitute parts?

A: AFCT-725SMZ operates at 3.3V supply voltage. AFCT-5715APZ-C voltage specifications are not provided in the available data. Verification against system power supply specifications is required before final selection.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new system designs?

A: AFCT-5715APZ-C is recommended for new designs requiring SFP form factor compatibility with 1310nm wavelength operation. This part maintains active status and direct form factor compatibility with legacy AFCT-5715APZ installations.
