About This Part
The Avago AFBR-57F5MZ-QL is a high-performance Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) optical transceiver module, engineered for robust data communication in enterprise storage and data centre environments. As part of Avago's extensive portfolio of optical networking components, this module adheres to the SFP+ Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) standards, ensuring interoperability across a wide range of networking equipment. Its primary function is to facilitate high-speed serial optical data links, specifically supporting 16 Gigabit Fibre Channel (16GFC) applications. This transceiver typically operates over multi-mode or single-mode fibre, depending on the specific variant, offering a reliable interface for connecting host bus adapters (HBAs), Fibre Channel switches, and storage arrays. Key technical specifications include a data rate of 14.025 Gbps for 16GFC, leveraging advanced laser technology to deliver efficient and low-power optical transmission. The module integrates a transmitter and receiver, enabling full-duplex communication over a pair of optical fibres, making it an essential component for high-bandwidth storage area networks (SANs). The Avago AFBR-57F5MZ-QL is predominantly deployed within Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs) and high-performance computing (HPC) clusters. It is installed in SFP+ ports of Fibre Channel switches, directors, host bus adapters (HBAs), and storage controllers from leading vendors. This module supports critical infrastructure for industries requiring low-latency, high-throughput data access, such as financial services, telecommunications, cloud service providers, and large enterprises with extensive data processing needs. It addresses the challenge of increasing data volumes and the demand for faster access to stored information, enabling seamless upgrades from 8GFC or 4GFC infrastructure to 16GFC without requiring a complete overhaul of existing fibre optic cabling in many cases. By providing a reliable and high-speed optical link, the AFBR-57F5MZ-QL ensures the efficient operation of mission-critical applications, database transactions, and virtualized environments, thereby enhancing overall network performance and reducing data access bottlenecks.
