Qlogic compatible AFBR-57D9AMZ-QL Description
AFBR-57D9AMZ is an Avago (now Broadcom) part number for an 8G Fibre Channel shortwave SFP+ transceiver. The -QL suffix indicates QLogic EEPROM encoding, meaning this module is programmed for QLogic Fibre Channel HBAs such as the QLE2690, QLE2692, and QLE2694L. EdgeOptic's compatible version matches the original optical parameters: 850 nm VCSEL, LC/UPC duplex, 6.1 dB minimum optical budget, and DDM support. Reach is 50 m on OM3 per FC-PI-4 or 35 m on OM2 multimode fiber.
The AFBR-57D9AMZ supports multi-rate Fibre Channel operation: 8GFC (8.5 Gbps), 4GFC (4.25 Gbps), and 2GFC (2.125 Gbps). The -QL variant's EEPROM identifies the module to QLogic HBA firmware, which checks vendor fields during initialization. Other suffix variants exist for different HBA vendors: -ELX for Emulex/Broadcom, -HP4 for HPE, and the base AFBR-57D9AMZ for generic use. Order the -QL specifically when the target is a QLogic adapter.
SFP+ form factor per SFF-8431/8432 and FC-PI-4 for Fibre Channel electrical compliance. Operating temperature 0°C to 70°C. CE/RoHS certified. QLogic FC HBA firmware compatibility is confirmed before shipping each module. For SAN deployment sizing or volume orders, contact our sales team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the AFBR-57D9AMZ-QL a Fibre Channel or Ethernet module?
Fibre Channel. The AFBR-57D9AMZ-QL supports 2G/4G/8G FC rates and is coded for QLogic FC HBAs. It is not an Ethernet 10GBASE-SR module, even though both use 850 nm optics in the SFP+ form factor. The Avago "57D" series is FC-specific, distinct from the "857" Ethernet series.
Can I use the -QL version in an Emulex HBA?
The optics will physically work, but Emulex HBA firmware may reject or flag the module due to the QLogic vendor field in the EEPROM. For Emulex adapters, order the AFBR-57D9AMZ-ELX variant instead. EdgeOptic manufactures both with identical optical specs, only the EEPROM vendor data differs.
