Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AFCT-57F3ATMZ are identified based on the following criteria:

Manufacturer Recommended Substitute: Parts designated as manufacturer-recommended substitutes are direct successors within the same product family, offering enhanced specifications while maintaining core functional compatibility.

Similar Substitute: Parts classified as similar substitutes share the same base functional category and connector interface specifications, enabling system-level compatibility despite potential differences in data rate or wavelength specifications.

The substitution logic is based on the following key parameters:

• Product category (Transceiver Module)
• Connector type compatibility
• Mounting type (Pluggable, SFP+)
• Wavelength (1310nm)
• RoHS compliance status
• Packaging format (Tray)

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Manufacturer-Recommended Substitution:

The AFCT-57G5MZ is designated as the manufacturer-recommended substitute. This part maintains active product status with Broadcom Limited, ensuring ongoing technical support and supply chain availability. Both the main part and this substitute maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 classification. The AFCT-57G5MZ operates at an enhanced data rate of 28.05Gbps with 1310nm wavelength specification, supporting Fibre Channel Links applications. Selection of this substitute is appropriate for new designs and systems requiring extended component lifecycle support.

For Similar Substitution:

The AFCT-57F3ATMZ-C, manufactured by ATGBICS, provides a similar functional alternative with matching 16Gbps data rate and 1310nm wavelength. This part maintains active product status and shares the same SFP+ pluggable mounting interface. The AFCT-57F3ATMZ-C operates at 3.3V supply voltage and supports general-purpose applications. This substitute is suitable for applications where data rate equivalence to the original part is required.

Compliance Considerations:

Both substitute parts maintain compliance with applicable regulatory standards. The AFCT-57G5MZ carries ROHS3 compliance with ECCN 5A991B5A classification. The AFCT-57F3ATMZ-C carries EAR99 ECCN classification. Selection should account for end-use application regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the AFCT-57F3ATMZ classified as obsolete?

A: The AFCT-57F3ATMZ has reached end-of-life status within Broadcom Limited's product portfolio. Substitute parts are provided to ensure system continuity and support for existing installations.

Q: What is the primary difference between the manufacturer-recommended substitute and the similar substitute?

A: The AFCT-57G5MZ (manufacturer-recommended) is a direct successor from Broadcom Limited with enhanced 28.05Gbps data rate capability and active product status. The AFCT-57F3ATMZ-C (similar) maintains the original 16Gbps data rate specification and is sourced from ATGBICS, providing functional equivalence at the original performance level.

Q: Are the substitute parts compatible with systems designed for the AFCT-57F3ATMZ?

A: Compatibility depends on system-level requirements. Both substitutes share the SFP+ pluggable mounting interface and 1310nm wavelength specification. The AFCT-57G5MZ offers higher data rate capability, while the AFCT-57F3ATMZ-C maintains data rate equivalence. System integration requirements should be evaluated based on specific application parameters.

Q: What packaging format is used for these transceiver modules?

A: All parts listed are supplied in Tray packaging format, consistent with standard transceiver module distribution practices.

Q: How do the supply voltage specifications compare across these parts?

A: The AFCT-57F3ATMZ supply voltage is not specified in available documentation. The AFCT-57G5MZ operates at 3.1V to 3.5V, while the AFCT-57F3ATMZ-C operates at 3.3V. System power supply design should accommodate the voltage range of the selected substitute part.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity classification for these parts?

A: The AFCT-57F3ATMZ and AFCT-57G5MZ both carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. The AFCT-57F3ATMZ-C carries Not Applicable MSL classification.
