Product details
Overview
AFBR-5701PZ from Broadcom (formerly Avago) is a hot-pluggable, ROHS-6-compliant SFP optical transceiver for Gigabit Ethernet (1.25 GBd) and Fibre Channel (1.0625 GBd), featuring 850 nm VCSEL transmitter, LC-duplex connector, and extended temperature range (–10°C to +85°C) with bail-style latching mechanism. It delivers –9.5 dBm to –3 dBm average output power and supports 50/125 µm fiber up to 550 m.
For engineers reviewing the AFBR-5701PZ datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its non-Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (non-DDM) architecture, SFF-8074i compliance, 3.3 V single-supply operation, and compatibility with IEEE 802.3 1000BASE-SX and FC-PI 100-M5-SN-I standards in high-port-density switch/router platforms.
Technical Context
The AFBR-5701PZ implements a fully integrated SFP electrical interface per SFF-8074i, with AC-coupled differential TD+/TD– inputs (500–2400 mVpp) and RD+/RD– outputs (370–2000 mVpp), internally terminated to 100 Ω. Its transmitter uses an 850 nm VCSEL driven by a custom laser driver with eye-safety circuitry that disables output on unsafe optical power conditions.
Receiver section integrates a PIN photodiode ROSA with transimpedance preamplifier and quantization circuitry, delivering TTL/CMOS-compatible Rx_LOS (pin 8) and supporting stressed receiver sensitivity of –12.5 dBm at 1.25 GBd. No DMI functionality is present - all diagnostic monitoring pins (MOD-DEF1/2, A2h memory map) remain unused per design.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | 1.25 GBd (Gigabit Ethernet) / 1.0625 GBd (Fibre Channel) - supports full-rate 1000BASE-SX and FC-PI 100-M5-SN-I links |

Pinout & Package
Package: SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable), 20-pin card-edge connector, bail-latch mechanical design, metal housing with UL94V-0 plastic shell.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 17, 20, 9, 10, 11, 14 | VeeT / VeeR | Transmitter/receiver ground planes - multi-point grounding ensures signal integrity and EMI suppression across high-speed lanes |
| 15, 16 | VccR / VccT | Separate 3.3 V supplies for receiver and transmitter - prevents crosstalk and enables independent power sequencing |
| 12, 13 | RD– / RD+ | Differential receive data outputs - AC-coupled, 100 Ω internally terminated, 370–2000 mVpp swing compliant with SERDES input requirements |
| 18, 19 | TD+ / TD– | Differential transmit data inputs - AC-coupled, accepts 500–2400 mVpp, eliminates need for external coupling capacitors on host PCB |
| 2, 8 | TX_FAULT / LOS | Open-collector status flags - require 4.7–10 kΩ pull-up on host; indicate laser fault or loss of optical signal respectively |
| 3 | TX_DISABLE | TTL/CMOS-compatible control input - high disables laser; internal 4.7–10 kΩ pull-up ensures safe default-off state |
| 4, 5, 6 | MOD-DEF2 / MOD-DEF1 / MOD-DEF0 | Module identification interface - MOD-DEF0 grounded internally; MOD-DEF1/2 unused (no DMI), but must be pulled up per MSA |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SFP transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AFBR-5701LZ | Same optical specs and non-DDM feature set, but uses standard (not bail) latch mechanism | Preferred where host cage design specifies standard latch engagement sequence | Select AFBR-5701LZ when mechanical compatibility with legacy SFP cages is required over bail-latch flexibility |
| AFBR-5710Z | Functionally identical non-DDM SFP, but manufactured under newer product revision with updated reliability qualification | Offers enhanced Telcordia GR-468-CORE compliance margin and extended lifecycle support | Choose AFBR-5710Z for new designs requiring long-term supply continuity and latest manufacturing process controls |
Compared with AFBR-5701LZ, AFBR-5701PZ offers bail-latch actuation for easier insertion in high-density front panels; compared with AFBR-5710Z, it lacks the updated qualification but remains fully interoperable in existing deployed systems.

FAQ
Does AFBR-5701PZ support Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) or DOM?
No, AFBR-5701PZ does not support DDM/DOM. It belongs to the AFBR-5701Z family, which is explicitly defined as the non-DDM variant. Unlike AFBR-5705Z, it lacks SFF-8472 compliance and provides no real-time monitoring of temperature, Tx bias current, or optical power. The MOD-DEF1/2 pins are present but unused in AFBR-5701PZ.
What is the maximum supported fiber distance for AFBR-5701PZ in Gigabit Ethernet mode?
AFBR-5701PZ supports up to 550 meters on 50/125 µm multimode fiber (OM2) and up to 275 meters on 62.5/125 µm fiber (OM1) at 1.25 GBd, per IEEE 802.3 1000BASE-SX specifications. These distances assume compliant launch conditions and meet worst-case receiver sensitivity of –21 dBm.
Is AFBR-5701PZ compatible with SFP cages designed for SFF-8074i?
Yes, AFBR-5701PZ is fully compliant with the SFP Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) per SFF-8074i and mechanically compatible with all standard SFP cages. Its bail-latch mechanism meets MSA-defined engagement force and travel requirements, and its 20-pin card-edge footprint matches the specification exactly.
What are the power supply requirements for AFBR-5701PZ?
AFBR-5701PZ requires two isolated 3.3 V supplies: VccT (transmitter, pin 16) and VccR (receiver, pin 15), each regulated to 3.135–3.465 V. Host boards must implement the MSA-specified LC filter (1 µH inductor + 10 µF/0.1 µF capacitors) on both rails to meet PSNR ≤100 mVpp and ensure stable operation.
Can AFBR-5701PZ be used in industrial temperature environments?
No, AFBR-5701PZ is rated only for extended temperature (–10°C to +85°C). For industrial applications requiring –40°C to +85°C operation, use AFBR-5701APZ (bail-latch, non-DDM, industrial temp) or AFBR-5701ALZ (standard latch, industrial temp). The "P" suffix in AFBR-5701PZ explicitly denotes extended-temperature bail-latch configuration.
