Product details

Overview

AFBR-710AFMZ from Broadcom (formerly Avago) is a 10G Fibre Channel SFP+ optical transceiver with 850 nm VCSEL transmitter and PIN photodiode receiver, compliant with ANSI 10G Fibre Channel and SFF-8431/8432 specifications, supporting 300 m over OM3 multimode fiber at 10.51875 GBd, and operating across 0–85 °C case temperature range for high-port-density storage area network (SAN) equipment.

For engineers reviewing the AFBR-710AFMZ datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical interface timing, digital diagnostic monitoring (SFF-8472), optical eye mask compliance, EMI performance in Class B systems, and hot-pluggable LC duplex mechanical integration per SFF-8432.

Technical Context

The AFBR-710AFMZ implements a fully integrated SFP+ transceiver architecture with separate CML-based transmit (TD+/TD−) and receive (RD+/RD−) data paths, dual 3.3 V supplies (VccT/VccR), and two-wire serial management interface (SDA/SCL) mapped to I²C-compatible EEPROM addresses 0xA0 (SFF-8431) and 0xA2 (SFF-8472 diagnostics). It embeds real-time monitoring of Tx_Bias, Tx_Power, Rx_Power, Vcc, and temperature for predictive failure identification and compliance prediction.

Its optical subsystem uses Avago's proprietary 850 nm VCSEL TOSA and PIN ROSA, delivering −4.3 dBm minimum OMA output power and −11.1 dBm receive sensitivity (OMA), with full Class 1 laser safety certification (IEC 60825-1/CDRH), RoHS compliance, and UL 94V-0 flame-retardant housing meeting SFF-8432 IPF mechanical standards.

Pinout & Package

AFBR-710AFMZ uses the standard 20-pin SFP+ edge connector per SFF-8432 Improved Pluggable Formfactor (IPF), with metal housing, LC duplex optical interface, and RoHS-compliant UL 94V-0 plastic components. The module is hot-pluggable and designed for insertion into INF-8074 or SFF-8431/2 compliant cages without host power-down.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 10G Fibre Channel SFP+ applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
AFBR-710SMZ	Same VCSEL/PIN architecture but rated for 0–70 °C; optimized for 10GBASE-SR Ethernet, not Fibre Channel	Designed for Ethernet LANs; lacks Fibre Channel-specific timing and protocol validation	Select AFBR-710SMZ only for Ethernet-only environments where Fibre Channel compliance is unnecessary
AFCT-709SMZ	10GBASE-LR single-mode variant (1310 nm, 10 km); different wavelength, higher power, SMF-optimized optics	Used in campus backbone links; incompatible with MMF-based FC SAN topologies	Choose AFCT-709SMZ when extending beyond 300 m or requiring single-mode fiber infrastructure

Compared with AFBR-710AFMZ, AFBR-710SMZ trades extended temperature range and Fibre Channel certification for Ethernet alignment, while AFCT-709SMZ replaces multimode capability with long-haul single-mode reach-neither offers drop-in replacement for ANSI 10G FC deployments.
