Broadcom AFBR-57R5AEZ 4.25 Gb/s 850 nm SFP Optical Transceiver Module

Broadcom AFBR-57R5AEZ optical transceiver is engineered for reliable, high-speed data communication over multimode fiber systems.

Compliant with Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) specifications and supporting widely used standards including Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet, this module provides flexible connectivity for networking, storage, and enterprise infrastructure.

Operating at an 850 nm wavelength, it transmits and receives data at up to 4.25 Gb/s, enabling robust performance in short-reach fiber links.

The module supports SFF-8472 digital diagnostic monitoring, giving real-time feedback on operation parameters such as optical power, temperature, laser bias current, and supply voltage — useful for system health monitoring and predictive maintenance.

With a compact, hot-pluggable SFP form factor and LC duplex connector, the AFBR-57R5AEZ is suitable for installation in switches, servers, storage arrays, and host bus adapters that support SFP optics.
