NETAPP AFBR-57R5AEZ – Avago SFP 850nm 4.25GB

Detailed Description:

The NETAPP AFBR-57R5AEZ is an SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver module produced by Avago Technologies, specifically designed for NetApp storage systems. It is optimized for fiber channel communications, providing a high-speed, 4.25 Gigabits per second (Gbps) link over multimode fiber optic cables. The module operates using shortwave laser technology at an 850nm wavelength, which is ideal for short-distance connections within data centers or storage area networks. This SFP module is a crucial component for achieving high-speed data transfer rates, enhancing system performance, and improving the efficiency of storage operations. It is particularly suited for use in environments requiring reliable, high-speed data access and transfer, such as virtualized data centers, cloud storage solutions, and enterprise-grade storage infrastructures. The AFBR-57R5AEZ incorporates digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM) capabilities, which provide invaluable insights into the module’s operational status, including monitoring optical output power, input power, temperature, and laser bias current. These diagnostics tools are essential for maintaining optimal performance, enabling network administrators to preemptively address potential issues before they impact the network. With its combination of performance, reliability, and diagnostic capabilities, the NETAPP AFBR-57R5AEZ is designed to support the demanding requirements of modern data storage and retrieval applications.
