Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AFCT-701SDDZ is determined by alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Data rate compatibility: 10.312Gbd or equivalent 10Gbps operation
• Wavelength: 1310nm single-mode fiber operation
• Supply voltage: 3.3V operation
• Connector interface: LC connector configuration
• Mounting form factor: SFP or SFP+ pluggable module
• Application domain: Ethernet transceiver functionality

The AFCT-701SDDZ-C, manufactured by ATGBICS, meets these substitution criteria through equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications. Both modules operate at 1310nm wavelength with 3.3V supply voltage and LC connector interface, enabling direct functional replacement in Ethernet transceiver applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AFCT-701SDDZ-C serves as the primary substitute for the obsolete AFCT-701SDDZ. Selection is based on the following factors:

• The substitute part maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support
• Electrical parameters align across data rate, wavelength, and supply voltage specifications
• Both modules support Ethernet transceiver applications with compatible connector and form factor specifications
• The ATGBICS AFCT-701SDDZ-C carries EAR99 export classification, compared to the original part's 5A991B5A classification
• Packaging configuration differs (Tray for substitute versus unspecified for original), requiring verification against procurement requirements

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AFCT-701SDDZ-C directly replace the AFCT-701SDDZ in existing systems?

A: The AFCT-701SDDZ-C provides functional equivalence through matching data rate, wavelength, supply voltage, and connector specifications. Both modules operate as 1310nm Ethernet transceivers with 3.3V supply and LC connector interface. System compatibility depends on host equipment acceptance of SFP+ form factor and ATGBICS manufacturer specifications.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer (Broadcom versus ATGBICS), product status (obsolete versus active), form factor designation (SFP versus SFP+), and packaging type (unspecified versus Tray). Electrical and optical specifications remain equivalent for Ethernet transceiver operation.

Q: Why is the original part classified as obsolete?

A: Broadcom Limited has discontinued the AFCT-701SDDZ. The AFCT-701SDDZ-C represents an active alternative from ATGBICS with equivalent operational specifications for continued system support.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: The original part carries REACH Unaffected status with 5A991B5A ECCN classification. The substitute carries EAR99 export classification. Verification against specific compliance requirements for your application is necessary.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to the substitute part?

A: The AFCT-701SDDZ-C is supplied in Tray packaging. Confirm compatibility with your procurement and storage requirements, as packaging type may affect handling, storage conditions, and inventory management procedures.
