AFBR-2CARxxZ
10G Ethernet SFP+ Active Optical Cable (AOC)
Data Sheet
Description
Features
• Proven High Reliability 850 nm technology: Avago
VCSEL transmitter and Avago PIN receiver
The Avago Technologies’ AFBR-2CARxxZ Active Opti-
cal Cable (AOC) is part of a family of SFP+ products to
serve 10Gb Ethernet (10GbE) applications. The letters
“xx” of the part number AFBR-2CARxxZ denoted the
cable length in meters. The AFBR-2CARxxZ AOC enables
10GbE equipment designs with very high port density
based on the new electrical and mechanical specifica-
tion enhancements to the well known SFP specifications
developed by the SFF Committee. The specifications are
referred to as “SFP+” to represent the enhancements
over previous SFP specifications. The SFP+ AOC have a
cable length up to 20m. These AOCs can be used as an
alternative solution to SFP+ passive and active copper
cables, while providing improved signal integrity, longer
distances, superior electromagnetic immunity and bet-
ter bit error rate performance.
•ꢀ Maximum power dissipation 350mW per Active Cable
