About This Part
The Part Number AFBR-57M5APZ represents a high-performance Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver, a critical component in modern high-speed data communication networks. Manufactured by Avago, a leader in optical components, this module adheres to the industry-standard SFP form factor, ensuring broad compatibility and hot-pluggable deployment. Its primary function is to facilitate reliable optical data transmission over short to medium distances, typically within Storage Area Networks (SANs) and enterprise data centers. Specifically engineered for 4 Gigabit Fibre Channel (4GFC) applications, the AFBR-57M5APZ supports a data rate of 4.25 Gbps, enabling efficient and low-latency connectivity between host bus adapters, Fibre Channel switches, and storage arrays. This transceiver typically operates over multi-mode fiber (MMF) with a nominal wavelength, providing robust performance for demanding storage and networking environments where high throughput and deterministic latency are paramount. Its compact design and low power consumption make it an ideal choice for high-density network equipment. This Avago SFP transceiver is extensively deployed in mission-critical data center environments, particularly within Storage Area Networks (SANs) where high-speed, reliable access to shared storage is essential. It is compatible with a wide array of Fibre Channel switches, directors, and host bus adapters from leading network equipment vendors, making it a versatile solution for expanding or upgrading existing SAN infrastructure. Telecom operators and large enterprise data centers utilize the AFBR-57M5APZ to support applications requiring significant bandwidth and low latency, such as virtualization, database replication, and disaster recovery solutions. By providing a cost-effective and high-performance optical link, this module solves the challenge of interconnecting storage devices and servers over optical fiber, replacing copper-based solutions or lower-speed transceivers to enhance network performance and scalability. Its widespread adoption underscores its reliability and effectiveness in maintaining the integrity and speed of critical data pathways.
