Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AFCT-57J7ATPZ is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Wavelength: 1310nm (must match)
• Voltage - Supply: 3.3V (must match)
• Connector Type: LC (must match or be compatible)
• Mounting Type: Pluggable SFP form factor (must be compatible)

The AFCT-57J7ATPZ-C is identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute. While this substitute operates at a higher data rate (10Gbps versus 7.373Gbps), it maintains compatibility across wavelength, supply voltage, and connector specifications. The substitute uses SFP+ form factor, which is mechanically and electrically compatible with SFP slots in most modern equipment.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AFCT-57J7ATPZ-C is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete AFCT-57J7ATPZ. Selection of this substitute is supported by:

• Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability
• Matching wavelength (1310nm) and supply voltage (3.3V) specifications
• Compatible connector and form factor specifications
• REACH compliance status (EAR99 classification)

The higher data rate capability of the substitute (10Gbps) does not preclude its use in applications designed for 7.373Gbps operation, as the substitute is backward compatible with lower-speed requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AFCT-57J7ATPZ-C be used as a direct replacement for the AFCT-57J7ATPZ?

A: Yes. Both modules operate at 1310nm wavelength with 3.3V supply voltage and LC connector compatibility. The SFP+ form factor of the substitute is mechanically and electrically compatible with standard SFP slots.

Q: What is the difference between SFP and SFP+ form factors?

A: SFP+ is a higher-density variant of SFP with enhanced electrical specifications. SFP+ modules are backward compatible with SFP slots in most equipment designs.

Q: Does the higher data rate of the substitute affect compatibility?

A: No. The AFCT-57J7ATPZ-C operates at 10Gbps but is fully compatible with systems designed for 7.373Gbps operation. The module will function at the lower speed without performance degradation.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when ordering the substitute?

A: The AFCT-57J7ATPZ-C is supplied in Tray packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and storage procedures.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute?

A: The AFCT-57J7ATPZ-C carries EAR99 classification and is REACH compliant.
