❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
❓ Are these AFBR-57R5AEZ SFP modules compatible with Cisco, HP, Dell, or Brocade switches?
✅ The Avago AFBR-57R5AEZ modules are standard MSA-compliant SFP transceivers. They are generally recognized by SAN network equipment compatible with SFP, including Brocade Fibre Channel switches, Cisco MDS, HP StoreFabric, and Dell EMC. Some vendor-locked equipment may require prior compatibility verification.
❓ What is the maximum range of these 850nm multimode SFP transceivers?
✅ On multimode fiber (MMF) and in 4Gb Fibre Channel mode, the maximum distance is 300 meters. These 850 nm short wavelength (SW) modules are optimized for intra-datacenter connections and local SAN networks.
❓ Do these modules support DOM (Digital Optical Monitoring)?
✅ Yes, the AFBR-57R5AEZ complies with the SFF-8472 standard. Through the 2-wire serial interface, it allows real-time monitoring of temperature, supply voltage, laser bias current, transmitted optical power, and received optical power.
❓ Are these 4Gb FC SFP transceivers compatible with 1Gb or 2Gb equipment?
✅ Yes, the AFBR-57R5AEZ module is designed for Fibre Channel speeds of 1, 2, and 4 Gb/s (auto-negotiation), as well as IEEE 802.3 Gigabit Ethernet applications. It is backward compatible with existing 1GFC and 2GFC SAN infrastructures.
❓ What type of fiber optic cable should I use with this SFP module?
✅ This transceiver uses an LC Duplex connector and requires a multimode fiber optic cable (OM2, OM3, or OM4). OM3 and OM4 cables are recommended for distances up to 300 m. Do not use single-mode fiber (SMF), which is incompatible with 850 nm short wavelength modules.
❓ Have these used SFP modules been tested before shipping?
✅ Absolutely. Each optical transceiver is individually tested before being included in the lot. They come from professional datacenter dismantling and are in working condition. In case of any issue upon receipt, our 30-day warranty applies unconditionally.
