Compatibility

The AFBR-57E6APZ-HT is compatible to the SFF-8074i for conventional SFP interface and the SFF-8472 for DMI. By way of 2-wire serial communications as defined in the SFF-8472 MSA, the AFBR-57E6APZ-HT can provide real time information on temperature, LED bias current, LED average output power and receiver average input power. The device also has the ability to monitor the receiver loss of signal (RX_LOS).
