Application Support
An Evaluation Kit and Reference Designs are available to
assist in evaluation of the AFBR-2CARxxZ. Please contact
your local Field Sales representative for availability and
ordering details.
Caution
There are no user serviceable parts nor maintenance
requirements for the AFBR-2CARxxZ. All mechanical
adjustments are made at the factory prior to shipment.
Tampering with, modifying, misusing or improperly han-
dling the AFBR-2CARxxZ will void the product warranty.
It may also result in improper operation and possibly
overstress the device. Performance degrada tion or de-
vice failure may result. Operating above maximum op-
erating conditions or in a manner inconsistent with it’s
design and function may result in exposure to hazardous
light radiation and may constitute an act of modifying or
manufacturing a laser product. Persons performing such
an act are required by law to recertify and re-identify the
laser product under the provisions of U.S. 21 CFR (Sub-
chapter J) and TUV.
Customer Manufacturing Processes
This AOC is pluggable and is not designed for aqueous
wash, IR reow, or wave soldering processes.
Ordering Information
Please contact your local eld sales engineer or one of
Avago Technologies franchised distributors for ordering
information. For technical information, please visit Ava-
go Technologies’ WEB page at www.avagotech.com. For

Regulatory Compliance
The AFBR-2CARxxZ complies with all applicable laws
and regulations as detailed in Table 1. Certication level
is dependent on the overall conguration of the host
equipment. The AOC performance is oered as a gure
of merit to assist the designer.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
The AFBR-2CARxxZ is compatible with ESD levels found
in typical manufacturing and operating environments as
described in Table 1. In the normal handling and opera-
tion of optical cables, ESD is of concern in two circum-
stances.
The rst case is during handling of the AOC prior to inser-
tion into an SFP+ compliant cage. To protect the device,
it’s important to use normal ESD handling pre-cautions.
These include use of grounded wrist straps, work-bench-
es and oor wherever a optical cable is handled.
The second case to consider is static discharges to the
exterior of the host equipment chassis after installation.
If the optical interface is exposed to the exterior of host
equipment cabinet, the optical cable may be subject to
system level ESD requirements.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Equipment incorporating 10 gigabit transceivers or ac-
tive optical cables is typically subject to regulation by the
FCC in the United States, CENELEC EN55022 (CISPR 22) in
Europe and VCCI in Japan. The AFBR-2CARxxZ enables
equipment compliance to these standards detailed in
Table 1. The metal housing and shielded design of the
AFBR-2CARxxZ minimizes the EMI challenge facing the
equipment designer. For superior EMI performance it
is recommended that equipment designs utilize SFP+
cages per SFF 8432.
RF Immunity (Susceptibility)
The EMI immunity of the AFBR-2CARxxZ exceeds typical
industry standards.
Eye Safety
The AFBR-2CARxxZ provides Class 1 (single fault toler-
ant) eye safety by design and has been tested for com-
pliance with the requirements listed in Table 1. The eye
safety circuit continuously monitors the optical output
power level and will disable the transmitter upon de-
tecting a condition beyond the scope of Class 1 certi-
cation. Such conditions can be due to inputs from the
host board (Vcc uctuation, unbalanced code) or a fault
within the transceiver. US CDRH and EU TUV certicates
are listed in table 1.
Flammability
The AFBR-2CARxxZ optical cable is made of metal and
high strength, heat resistant, chemical resistant and UL
94V-0 ame retardant plastic.
