Avago compatible AFBR-703SDZ Description
AFBR-703SDZ is an Avago (now Broadcom) part number for a 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver operating at 1.25 Gbps over multimode fiber. This is a Gigabit Ethernet module in the standard SFP form factor, not a 10G SFP+ module. The AFBR-703 series from Avago covers 1G SFP variants with different temperature ratings, reach options, and vendor-specific EEPROM configurations. The -SDZ suffix designates commercial temperature operation with a specific coding profile.
EdgeOptic's compatible AFBR-703SDZ uses an 850 nm VCSEL transmitter and PIN photodiode receiver, following the 1000BASE-SX specification per IEEE 802.3z. Reach depends on the installed fiber grade: up to 275 m on OM1 (62.5/125 µm) (62.5/125 um), 550 m on OM2 (50/125 um), up to 1000 m on OM3 or OM4 fiber at Gigabit Ethernet rates per IEEE 802.3z. These reach figures differ from 10GBASE-SR distances because the lower 1.25 Gbps data rate allows for greater modal dispersion tolerance. Connector type is duplex LC/UPC. DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitoring) per SFF-8472 provides real-time optical power and temperature readings.
The module operates at a fixed 1.25 Gbps line rate (Gigabit Ethernet). It does not support 10 Gigabit Ethernet or multi-rate operation. For 10G-capable Avago/Broadcom replacements, the AFBR-709SMZ (10GBASE-SR SFP+) listings in the EdgeOptic Avago-compatible portfolio are the correct reference. The AFBR-703SDZ conforms to the SFP MSA mechanical specification (SFF-8074i) and SFF-8472 for digital diagnostics. Operating temperature is 0 to 70 degrees C, appropriate for standard networking environments.
Related Avago SKU variants include AFBR-703SDZ-HP8 (HP/HPE-coded EEPROM for ProLiant and BladeSystem platforms), AFBR-703SDZ-BN1 (Brocade-coded for Brocade Ethernet switches), and AFBR-703SDZ-ELX (Emulex-coded for Emulex network adapters). Each suffix indicates a different vendor EEPROM profile. The base AFBR-703SDZ without a vendor suffix uses generic Avago/Broadcom identification. EdgeOptic offers separate product listings for each vendor-coded variant to ensure correct EEPROM matching.
SFP EEPROM data and 1000BASE-SX optical parameters are validated on every unit. CE and RoHS certifications apply. The SFP form factor is hot-pluggable into any standard SFP cage; the module does not require SFP+ slot compatibility since it operates at 1G speeds only.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the AFBR-703SDZ a 1G or 10G module?
1G. The AFBR-703SDZ is a 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver operating at 1.25 Gbps over multimode fiber. It does not support 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The Avago 10G equivalent is the AFBR-709SMZ (10GBASE-SR SFP+).
What do the AFBR-703SDZ suffixes like -HP8, -BN1, and -ELX mean?
These suffixes indicate vendor-specific EEPROM coding applied to the same base AFBR-703SDZ hardware. -HP8 is coded for HP/HPE platforms, -BN1 for Brocade Fibre Channel switches, and -ELX for Emulex HBAs. The base AFBR-703SDZ without a vendor suffix uses generic Avago/Broadcom identification. EdgeOptic offers separate listings for each vendor-coded variant.
