Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

• Data Rate: 10.312Gbd (primary electrical specification)
• Wavelength: 1310nm (optical specification)
• Voltage - Supply: 3.3V (power requirement)
• Connector Type: LC (physical interface)
• Mounting Type: Pluggable, SFP/SFP+ (form factor compatibility)
• Applications: Ethernet (functional category)

The AFCT-701SDZ-C, manufactured by ATGBICS, meets these substitution criteria with a data rate of 10Gbps, matching wavelength of 1310nm, identical 3.3V supply voltage, LC connector configuration, and pluggable SFP+ form factor suitable for Ethernet applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The AFCT-701SDZ-C serves as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete AFCT-701SDZ. Both modules operate at identical wavelength (1310nm) and supply voltage (3.3V), with compatible data rates within the 10Gbps class. The substitute part is manufactured by ATGBICS and maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and support.

The AFCT-701SDZ-C is classified under ECCN EAR99, providing favorable export compliance compared to the original part's ECCN 5A991B5A classification. The substitute is supplied in Tray packaging and is currently in stock with 5196 units available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both modules operate at 1310nm wavelength with 3.3V supply voltage and LC connector configuration. The data rates are compatible within the 10Gbps Ethernet class, and both support pluggable SFP/SFP+ form factors.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from Obsolete to Active?

A: The AFCT-701SDZ-C maintains active manufacturing status, ensuring continued availability, technical support, and supply chain reliability. The original AFCT-701SDZ is no longer manufactured by Broadcom Limited.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The original AFCT-701SDZ packaging is not specified. The AFCT-701SDZ-C is supplied in Tray packaging, which is standard for high-volume transceiver module distribution.

Q: How do the export classifications differ?

A: The AFCT-701SDZ carries ECCN 5A991B5A, while the AFCT-701SDZ-C is classified as EAR99. The EAR99 classification of the substitute part may provide simplified export compliance in certain jurisdictions.

Q: Are both parts REACH compliant?

A: The AFCT-701SDZ is REACH Unaffected. The AFCT-701SDZ-C does not specify REACH status in the provided data.
