About This Part
The Part Number AFBR-703SDZ from Avago is a high-performance Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) optical transceiver designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. This module operates as a 10GBASE-SR (Short Reach) device, facilitating robust and high-speed data transmission over multimode fiber optic cables. It utilizes an 850nm wavelength VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) transmitter and a PIN photo-detector receiver, providing a reliable optical link. The AFBR-703SDZ supports data rates of 10 Gbps and is equipped with a duplex LC connector for seamless integration into existing network infrastructure. It is capable of transmitting data up to 300 meters over OM3 multimode fiber and extends connectivity to 400 meters when deployed with OM4 multimode fiber, making it ideal for short-reach interconnections within data centers and enterprise networks. Its hot-pluggable capability ensures easy installation and maintenance without disrupting network operations. The Avago AFBR-703SDZ transceiver is primarily deployed in environments requiring high-density, high-bandwidth interconnections over short distances. Typical installations include enterprise data centers, campus networks, and cloud computing infrastructures where it connects servers to top-of-rack (ToR) switches, or provides switch-to-switch uplinks. This SFP+ module is compatible with a wide range of network platforms, including Ethernet switches, routers, and network interface cards (NICs) from various vendors that support the SFP+ form factor. Industries such as telecommunications, financial services, and large-scale enterprises leverage this module to overcome bandwidth limitations and enhance network performance. It is instrumental in building robust storage area networks (SANs) and facilitating the rapid data transfer essential for virtualization, big data analytics, and cloud services. The AFBR-703SDZ serves as a critical component for upgrading existing 1 Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure to 10 Gigabit speeds, offering a cost-effective and efficient solution for expanding network capacity and improving overall operational efficiency. For B2B clients seeking cost-effective and reliable infrastructure solutions, Revo Distribution Limited offers used and professionally refurbished units of the Avago AFBR-703SDZ.
