The AFBR-5718APZ from Avago (Broadcom) is a 1000BASE-SX SFP optical module widely specified by system integrators and IT procurement teams for short-reach Gigabit Ethernet and 1G Fibre Channel links over multimode fiber. Because it is a high-demand, mature part number, we maintain it as a recurring stock item with consistent batch sourcing, so resellers filling project orders or replenishment programs can expect uniform labeling, firmware coding behavior, and date codes across shipments within a batch. Deployment teams should verify the installed cabling plant (OM2 vs OM3) against the 550 m fiber-grade-dependent reach before committing volumes.

Procurement Considerations
- MSA-compliant per INF-8074i, the module operates in standard 1G SFP ports across mainstream switch platforms from Cisco, HPE/Aruba, Juniper, and comparable vendors. Some OEMs enforce vendor-locked optics; we recommend buyers validate coding requirements against the target switch firmware before placing bulk orders, and we can discuss coding options on request.
- For resale and integration projects, confirm whether the standard (0°C to 70°C) or industrial (-40°C to 85°C) temperature variant is required at order time, as well as whether DDM/DOM telemetry must be supported by your monitoring stack. Specifying these upfront avoids RMA churn and mixed-batch deployments.
- Where reach exceeds 550 m or single-mode fiber is installed, procurement teams should substitute a 1000BASE-LX/BX module; our catalog carries the full SX/LX/BX family for consolidated purchasing.
- Units are supplied with RoHS compliance documentation; CE/FCC declarations for the relevant regulatory scope can be furnished to support your import and resale obligations.
Quality, Warranty & RMA
Each shipment is inspected before dispatch, and we support a defined warranty window with structured RMA handling: buyers report failures with batch/lot references, and we process replacement or credit per our standard trade terms. Batch consistency is preserved wherever stock depth allows, which simplifies integration testing and after-sales support for resellers and managed service providers.
For volume commitments, ongoing supply agreements, or project-based scheduling, please request a wholesale quote and our sales desk will confirm pricing, stock position, and delivery windows.
