AFBR-57R5AEZ-B1 - IBM Avago Fibre Channel SFP Network Adapter

Description

The AFBR-57R5AEZ-B1 is a high-performance Fibre Channel SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver module, manufactured by Avago (now part of Broadcom) and often branded or utilized by IBM for their server and storage solutions. This module is engineered to provide reliable and fast connectivity for Fibre Channel networks, commonly found in Storage Area Networks (SANs). It allows servers and storage devices to communicate efficiently over optical fiber cables. This specific model operates at a data rate of up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) and utilizes an 850nm wavelength, making it suitable for multimode fiber optic applications. The standard LC connector ensures easy and secure connection to network equipment. Its SFP form factor allows for hot-swapping, meaning the module can be inserted or removed from network devices without powering down the system, which is critical for maintaining network uptime. Ideal for enterprise environments requiring robust storage connectivity, the AFBR-57R5AEZ-B1 facilitates high-speed data transfers between servers and storage arrays. Its compatibility with various IBM systems and adherence to industry standards make it a versatile choice for upgrading or expanding Fibre Channel infrastructure. The reliability associated with Avago/Broadcom components ensures consistent performance for demanding applications.
