Intel compatible AFBR-709DMZ-IN3 Description
EdgeOptic's AFBR-709DMZ-IN3 compatible is an Intel-coded dual-rate version of the EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-300 multi-vendor 10GBASE-SR / SW SFP+ transceiver. The OEM module is an Avago AFBR-709DMZ optical engine carrying Intel OEM EEPROM coding, identified by the -IN3 suffix that Intel uses on SFP+ optics qualified for its X520 and X710 server-adapter families. Avago acquired the legacy Broadcom Corporation in 2016, and the combined company today markets and supports the AFBR-709 product line under the Broadcom brand; the original Avago datasheet branding is retained on the part.
The DMZ designator in the OEM part number identifies the dual-rate variant of the AFBR-709 family, supporting both 10GBASE-SR (10.31 Gbps) and 1000BASE-SX (1.25 Gbps) over the same 850 nm multimode optic. The 10G-only sibling is the AFBR-709SMZ, which carries Avago vendor identification only. Choose the DMZ-IN3 variant when the host port is an Intel X520 or X710 adapter that auto-negotiates between 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps.
Optical specs follow the 10G-SFP-300 root: 850 nm transmit and receive, 20 nm bandwidth (840 to 860 nm), 300 m over OM3 and 400 m over OM4 / OM5 multimode fiber, duplex LC/UPC connector, 6.1 dB average link budget. Transmit power is −5 to 0 dBm, receiver sensitivity is −11.1 dBm, and receiver overload is 0 dBm. The transmitter is a VCSEL laser, the receiver a PIN photodiode, and DOM/DDM is supported per SFF-8472 for monitoring TX bias, optical power, voltage and case temperature.
The -IN3 suffix on this part number is an Intel OEM EEPROM coding designator, not an industrial-temperature designator. Operating temperature is the standard commercial 0 to 70 °C range, matching the 10G-SFP-300 root specification. Standard target hosts are Intel X520 and X710 server adapter families that publish AFBR-709DMZ-IN3 in their accessory matrix. The EdgeOptic compatible carries Intel-recognized vendor identification used for the -IN3 suffix so the optic appears as a recognized SFP+ on these adapters; verify the host driver and OS revision against Intel's adapter compatibility table before deployment, since some driver versions enforce stricter SFP+ vendor checking than others.
Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the AFBR-709DMZ-IN3 dual-rate, or 10G-only?
Dual-rate. The DMZ designator in the AFBR-709 family identifies the variant that supports both 10GBASE-SR (10.31 Gbps) and 1000BASE-SX (1.25 Gbps) on the same 850 nm multimode optic. The 10G-only sibling is the AFBR-709SMZ. Choose the DMZ-IN3 when the host port is an Intel X520 or X710 that auto-negotiates between 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps, or when migrating an existing 1000BASE-SX deployment toward 10G without changing the optic stock.
Does the -IN3 suffix mean industrial temperature?
No. The -IN3 suffix is Intel's OEM EEPROM coding designator for SFP+ optics qualified for X520 and X710 adapters. Operating temperature is the standard commercial 0 to 70 °C range, the same as the base AFBR-709DMZ. For genuine industrial-temperature SFP+ deployments, request an extended-temperature variant at quote stage; the DMZ-IN3 does not meet −40 to +85 °C industrial-class environmental specs.
What is the difference between AFBR-709DMZ-IN3 and AFBR-709SMZ?
Both modules use the same Avago 850 nm SFP+ optical engine, but capability and EEPROM differ. The DMZ-IN3 is dual-rate (1000BASE-SX plus 10GBASE-SR) with Intel-recognized EEPROM coding for X520 and X710 adapters. The SMZ is 10G-only, with Avago's generic vendor identification. Engineers replacing an SMZ in a 10G-only deployment can use either module, but engineers ordering for an Intel adapter that auto-negotiates between 1G and 10G need the DMZ-IN3 specifically.
