Qlogic compatible AFBR-57D9AMZ-QL Description
EdgeOptic's AFBR-57D9AMZ-QL compatible is a QLogic-coded 8G Fibre Channel short-wave version of the EdgeOptic 10G-SFP-300 multi-vendor short-wave SFP+ transceiver. The QLogic EEPROM coding lets the optic present as a recognized vendor accessory on QLogic 8Gb HBAs, the same way the OEM module would. The base optical part is an Avago design; the -QL suffix denotes QLogic OEM EEPROM coding.
Optical specifications, 8G Fibre Channel short-wave class. 850 nm VCSEL transmitter, PIN photodiode receiver, multi-mode duplex LC. 8GFC SW reach is 150 m on OM3 per the FC-PI-5 short-wave reach specification (INCITS 479-2012); the same hardware platform also supports 1G, 2G, 4G, and 10G Fibre Channel rates per the underlying multi-rate transceiver capability. TX output power runs −5 to 0 dBm, receiver sensitivity −11.1 dBm, receiver overload 0 dBm, link budget 6.1 dB. DDM/DOM is supported. Compliance: SFP MSA, FC-PI-5 short-wave, RoHS, IEC60825-1 Class 1 laser safety. Operating range 0 to 70°C commercial. For exact reach class on a specific HBA generation, verify against the Avago AFBR-57D9AMZ datasheet at quote stage.
AFBR-57D9AMZ-QL is supplied for QLogic 8Gb Fibre Channel HBAs, where the QLogic EEPROM lets the optic register as a vendor accessory under QLogic's management software. Verify the exact HBA model against the Marvell / QLogic transceiver compatibility documentation at quote stage. The Avago optical hardware underneath is the same design as other -ELX (Emulex) and -HP4 (HP) variants, but the EEPROM coding for each suffix is distinct, so do not substitute one OEM suffix for another on a different HBA brand.
The AFBR-57D9AMZ optical platform is an Avago design. Avago Technologies completed its acquisition of the legacy Broadcom Corporation in 2016, and the combined company today markets and supports the AFBR-57 product line under the Broadcom brand. The -QL suffix is QLogic's OEM EEPROM revision; -ELX is Emulex; -HP4 is HP. EdgeOptic's QLogic-coded compatible matches the EEPROM expected by QLogic HBAs, not the Emulex or HP variants.
Backed by 15+ years of EdgeOptic compatibility engineering across vendor optical platforms. Ships next business day from EU stock with a lifetime warranty included.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the AFBR-57D9AMZ-ELX (Emulex variant) interchangeably with the AFBR-57D9AMZ-QL?
No. The AFBR-57D9AMZ optical hardware is the same Avago design across the OEM suffixes, but the EEPROM coding differs by brand. -QL is QLogic, -ELX is Emulex, -HP4 is HP. A QLogic HBA looks for the QLogic vendor identifier in the SFP+ EEPROM and may report the wrong-suffix optic as unsupported under QLogic's management software. Order the suffix that matches the HBA brand on the original BOM, and EdgeOptic's -QL compatible carries the QLogic EEPROM that QLogic 8Gb HBAs expect.
