Overview
The AFBR-57R5APZ is a 4/2/1Gbaud MMF Fibre Optic Transceiver supports high-speed serial links over multimode optical fibre at signalling rates up to 4.25Gbps. Compliant with Small Form Pluggable (SFP) Multi Source Agreement (MSA) mechanical and electrical specifications for LC duplex transceivers, ANSI Fibre Channel FC-PI, FC-PI-2 and compatible with IEEE 802.3 for gigabit applications. The part
is electrically interoperable with SFP conformant devices.
As an enhancement to the conventional SFP interface
defined in SFF-8074i, the AFBR-57R5APZ is compliant to
SFF-8472 (digital diagnostic interface for optical transceivers). Using the 2-wire serial interface defined in the
SFF-8472 MSA, the AFBR-57R5APZ provides real time
temperature, supply voltage, laser bias current, laser
average output power and received input power. This
information is in addition to conventional SFP base data.
The digital diagnostic interface also adds the ability to
disable the transmitter (TX_DISABLE), monitor for Transmitter Faults (TX_FAULT), and monittor for Receiver Loss
of Signal (RX_LOS).
Installation
The AFBR-57R5APZ can be installed in any SFF-8074i
compliant Small Form Pluggable (SFP) port regardless of
host equipment operating status. The AFBR-57R5APZ is
hot-pluggable, allowing the module to be installed while
the host system is operating and on-line. Upon insertion,
the transceiver housing makes initial contact with the
host board SFP cage, mitigating potential damage due
to Electro-Static Discharge (ESD).
