AFBR-2CARxxZ
10G Ethernet SFP+ Active Optical Cable (AOC)
Product Brief
Description
The Avago Technologies’ AFBR-2CARxxZ Active Optical
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 denote the cable length
in meters. The AFBR-2CARxxZ AOC enables 10GbE
equipment designs with very high port density based
on the electrical and mechanical specication enhance-
ments to the well known SFP specications developed
by the SFF Committee. The specications are referred to
as “SFP+” to represent the enhancements over previous
SFP specications. The SFP+ AOC have a cable length up
to 20m. These AOCs can be used as an alternative so-
lution to SFP+ passive and active copper cables, while
providing improved signal integrity, longer distances,
superior electromagnetic immunity and better bit error
rate performance.
