Avago compatible AFBR-79EBPZ Description
EdgeOptic's AFBR-79EBPZ compatible is an Avago-coded version of the EdgeOptic BIDI-40G-QSFP-150 multi-vendor 40G BiDi QSFP+ transceiver. AFBR-79EBPZ is the original Avago Technologies (now Broadcom) ordering code for this module, documented in the Broadcom datasheet AV02-4528EN as a bidirectional, QSFP+ pluggable, duplex LC 40 Gigabit Ethernet transceiver, and introduced in an August 2015 press release covering the 40G BiDi MMF QSFP+ line for data center and cloud infrastructure deployments.
The module runs 40G Ethernet at the root's rated 41.25 Gbps aggregate signaling rate over a single duplex LC port, using two optical channels on nominal 850nm and 900nm wavelengths. Reach extends up to 150m over OM3, OM4 or OM5 multimode fiber. The design uses a VCSEL transmitter and a PIN photodiode receiver, with a 2 dB average link budget. DDM support exposes per-lane monitoring of transmit power, receive power, temperature, and supply voltage. Operating temperature is rated 0 to 70C from a single +3.3V supply.
The module is built to IEEE 802.3ba, the QSFP+ MSA, and SFF-8436 specifications, and carries CE, RoHS, and Class 1 laser safety certification under FDA and IEC 60825-1. Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms, the AFBR-79EBPZ compatible ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the AFBR-79EBPZ and the AFBR-79EBPZ-CS2?
AFBR-79EBPZ-CS2 is a related but distinct Avago ordering-code suffix in the same 40G BiDi QSFP+ module family. A Cisco support community report describing a Cisco QSFP-40G-SR-BD module identifies its underlying part as AFBR-79EBPZ-CS2, revision 01, with a nominal per-channel bit rate of 20600 Mbit/s across the module's two optical channels. Treat AFBR-79EBPZ and AFBR-79EBPZ-CS2 as separate ordering codes rather than interchangeable part numbers, and confirm the exact suffix printed on the module label or Cisco's own ordering documentation before matching a replacement.
Is the original Avago AFBR-79EBPZ still in production?
Distributor lifecycle listings mark the original Avago-branded AFBR-79EBPZ as obsolete and no longer manufactured. This is a distributor-reported lifecycle status, not a change to the transceiver's original datasheet specification. EdgeOptic's compatible module remains an available sourcing option under this ordering code regardless of the original part's production status.
