Avago Technologies AFCT-721XPDZ XFP Transceiver

Avago Technologies AFCT-721XPDZ is a 10 Gbps XFP transceiver designed for long-reach, 1310 nm single-mode fiber links. It supports 10GBASE-LR Ethernet and 10GFC Fibre Channel data rates, connecting via an LC duplex optical interface to SMF up to 10 kilometers. The module uses a standard XFP form factor and includes Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) for real-time visibility of transmitter and receiver parameters. With a 1310 nm transmission wavelength and single-mode fiber compatibility, the AFCT-721XPDZ is well-suited for data-center interconnects, core/backbone links, and storage-area network deployments that require reliable 10 Gb/s links over long distances. It’s commonly deployed in networks that interconnect switches, routers, and optical transport gear, where a compact 10 Gb/s transceiver is needed for SMF links. The AFCT-721XPDZ designation denotes Avago’s 10G XFP LR/IR family, and the device is widely available through authorized distributors and third-party resellers as a compatible XFP transceiver.
