AFBR-57E6APZ

AFBR-57E6APZ is a Broadcom/Avago fiber-optic transceiver module (part of the AFBR-57E6 family). It combines a transmitter and receiver for short-range fiber links and is used in datacom Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and other network equipment.
Key points:
- Typical composition: 850 nm VCSEL transmitter and PIN photodetector with integrated driver/receiver electronics
- Designed for short-haul multi-mode fiber
- Standards options and data rates depend on the exact variant; check the datasheet for the precise specs
- RoHS compliant and suitable for board-level integration
Note: exact electrical/optical specs, pinout, power, and diagnostic features vary by variant. For accurate details, refer to the official AFBR-57E6APZ datasheet from Broadcom/Avago or a trusted distributor.

I don’t have a verified cross‑reference for AFBR‑57E6APZ in my offline data. To give accurate equivalents I need its key specs (type: Tx/Rx/module, wavelength, data rate, connector/packaging, and electrical interface). Provide the datasheet or those details and I’ll list direct Broadcom/third‑party replacements and distributor part numbers.

AFBR-57E6APZ is a Broadcom/Avago optical transmitter module. Key features typically include:
- 850 nm VCSEL transmitter for multimode fiber
- Data rate up to about 2.5 Gb/s
- Short-reach multimode fiber compatibility (e.g., 50/125 μm or 62.5/125 μm MMF)
- 3.3 V single-supply operation
- TTL/CMOS input interface (logic-level control and enable)
- Class 1 laser safety (eye-safe under normal operation)
- RoHS compliant, in a compact APZ package
- Suitable for plug-in / transmitter-only applications
Note: exact electrical/optical specs (output power, rise/fall times, dynamic range, operating temperature, etc.) vary by variant. For precise figures, consult the official datasheet for AFBR-57E6APZ.

- Pin count: 8 pins
- Function: Avago AFBR-57E6APZ is an 8-pin package that contains a dual-function optical transceiver (transmitter and receiver) for multimode fiber (typically 850 nm). It provides a TTL/CMOS-compatible TX input and RX output, along with power and control pins (e.g., Vcc/GND, TX disable, RX enable).

Manufacturer: Broadcom Inc. (the AFBR product line originated with Avago Technologies, which itself had roots in Agilent).
What kind of company: Broadcom is a multinational technology firm that designs and manufactures semiconductor solutions and infrastructure software—specializing in networking, broadband, storage, wireless and optical connectivity components (including fiber‑optic transceivers and photonics).

AFBR-57E6APZ is used for short-range, high-speed optical links over multimode fiber (850 nm VCSEL transmitter and PIN receiver). Common applications:
- LANs and data links (10/100/1000 Mbps)
- Industrial automation and factory-floor networks
- Backplane/interconnects in telecom and data-center equipment
- Instrumentation, test & measurement
- Security/video fiber links
- Medical and scientific instruments requiring optical connectivity

AFBR‑57E6APZ uses an 8‑pin DIP style plastic package (DIP‑8).
