Avago compatible AFBR-710ASMZ Description
AFBR-710ASMZ belongs to Avago's 10GBASE-SR SFP+ family (now maintained by Broadcom after the 2016 acquisition). The suffix breakdown follows Avago's historical transceiver nomenclature: the 710 numeric series identifies a 10G SFP+ short-reach part, S marks the SR 850 nm optical stage, M indicates multimode fiber, and Z denotes the digital diagnostic (DDM) variant. The leading A prefix is a commercial-temperature revision of the base AFBR-710 module.
AFBR-710ASMZ is distinct from the AFBR-709 series SFP+ and the CFP2-class AFBR-8422IDZ; those are separate Avago/Broadcom product lines with different optical stages and form factors. The 710ASMZ is strictly SFP+ MSA mechanical, SFF-8432, with a dual-LC UPC fiber interface. Line rate is 10.3125 Gbps, transmitter is an 850 nm VCSEL, receiver is an 850 nm PIN photodiode, and the link budget conforms to IEEE 802.3ae Clause 52 at 6.1 dB guaranteed minimum.
Reach is 300 m on OM3 and 400 m on OM4 multimode fiber, with OM2 capped at roughly 82 m for legacy plant. DDM/DOM telemetry follows SFF-8472 — receive optical power, transmit bias, supply voltage, and case temperature are all surfaced through the standard two-wire interface, so Broadcom Ethernet driver stacks and third-party NOS inventories read the part without any diagnostic gaps. Typical deployments cover 10 GbE server NICs, top-of-rack to core multimode uplinks inside the data hall, and blade-chassis I/O modules that rebadge the AFBR-710ASMZ in their qualification list.
EdgeOptic's compatible build targets the Avago/Broadcom EEPROM format used by OEM host systems that rebrand this module. Common integrations cover 10GbE server NICs, blade-chassis I/O modules, and top-of-rack switch uplinks where AFBR-710ASMZ was the original OEM part. Operating range is commercial 0–70°C, 3.3 V supply, under 1 W typical power draw. Because many of the chassis that originally qualified AFBR-710ASMZ are now past formal vendor support, sourcing compatible spares keeps legacy SAN fabrics and Ethernet access tiers in service without a forced platform migration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the SMZ suffix mean in Avago's AFBR-710 naming?
Following Avago's transceiver naming pattern, S identifies the SR (short-reach 850 nm) optical stage, M marks multimode fiber compatibility, and Z denotes the DDM-equipped variant with SFF-8472 digital diagnostics. The leading A in AFBR-710ASMZ is a commercial-temperature revision of the baseline 710 series.
Is AFBR-710ASMZ a 10GBASE-SR SFP+ module or something else?
It is a 10GBASE-SR SFP+ multimode module — 850 nm VCSEL, 10.3125 Gbps line rate, 300 m OM3 / 400 m OM4 reach, dual-LC connector, SFF-8432 MSA form factor. It is not a CFP2, QSFP+, or long-reach SMF part; those are separate Avago/Broadcom product lines with different suffixes.
Who owns the AFBR product line now — Avago or Broadcom?
Broadcom has carried the AFBR transceiver line since the 2016 Avago-Broadcom merger. Existing OEM part numbers and EEPROM formats remained unchanged under the Broadcom brand, so AFBR-710ASMZ references found in older integration guides still resolve to the same physical SFP+ SR module.
