Intel compatible AFBR-710DMZ-IN1 Description
AFBR-710DMZ-IN1 is an Intel-branded variant of the Avago (now Broadcom) AFBR-710DMZ 10GBASE-SR SFP+ transceiver. The "-IN1" suffix identifies Intel as the OEM customer, with the EEPROM vendor field programmed to read as an Intel part. This distinction matters for systems that perform vendor ID checks at the NIC firmware or OS driver level, particularly Intel X520-DA2, and X710-DA2 network adapters.
Electrically and optically, the AFBR-710DMZ-IN1 is identical to the base AFBR-710DMZ. Transmission is at 850 nm via VCSEL, reception through a PIN photodiode, over LC/UPC duplex multimode fiber. Compliant with IEEE 802.3ae, the module reaches 300 m on OM3 and 400 m on OM4 with a 6.1 dB minimum optical budget. Supported line rates span 1.25 to 10.3125 Gbps. DDM is available per SFF-8472, reporting Tx/Rx power, bias current, temperature, and supply voltage. The temperature range is 0 to 70 degrees C.
Intel server NICs from the X520 generation onward can enforce vendor ID validation in firmware. When an unrecognized SFP+ is inserted, the adapter may restrict link speed to 1 Gbps or refuse to establish a link entirely. The ixgbe and i40e Linux drivers also check the vendor field; some distributions require the "allow_unsupported_sfp=1" module parameter to override this check. The AFBR-710DMZ-IN1 avoids these restrictions because its EEPROM carries the Intel vendor string, matching what the firmware expects.
EdgeOptic's compatible AFBR-710DMZ-IN1 replicates the Intel vendor identification in the EEPROM I2C data structure. This prevents "unsupported transceiver" messages in ethtool and Intel PROSet diagnostics. Mechanical and electrical compliance follows SFF-8431 and SFF-8432. Intel NIC firmware compatibility and optical compliance are verified on each module. CE and RoHS certified.
The AFBR-710DMZ-IN1 shares the same 10GBASE-SR optical specifications as the base AFBR-710DMZ, with Intel OEM EEPROM coding applied. The module is distributed through Intel's accessory channel for use with Intel Ethernet adapters.
For Intel server NICs that do not enforce vendor ID checks (such as certain i350 and i210 configurations), the generic AFBR-710DMZ or any MSA-compliant 10GBASE-SR SFP+ will also work. For guidance on which Intel adapter requires vendor-specific coding, contact our sales team.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between AFBR-710DMZ-IN1 and AFBR-710DMZ?
The optical and electrical specifications are identical. The "-IN1" suffix indicates Intel OEM coding in the EEPROM vendor ID field. Intel X520/X710 adapters with strict firmware may reject modules that lack the Intel vendor string, making the -IN1 variant the correct choice for those NICs.
Will the AFBR-710DMZ-IN1 work in non-Intel switches?
The module is physically and optically MSA-compliant, so it will function in any SFP+ port. However, the EEPROM identifies Intel as the vendor. Some managed switches may log an informational warning about an unrecognized vendor, though link establishment is unaffected. For switch deployments, a module coded for the switch vendor is preferable.
