Intel AFBR-709DMZ-IN2 10G SFP+ Transceiver | 10GBASE-SR | 850 nm MMF

The Intel AFBR-709DMZ-IN2 is a high-quality 10Gb SFP+ optical transceiver designed for short-range, high-speed networking over multimode fiber (MMF). Supporting 10GBASE-SR at 850 nm, this module is ideal for data-centre links, server interconnects, and switch-to-switch connections.

Manufactured for Intel by Avago, this is the second source for Intel part number E10GSFPSR — the same optic as the Finisar-made FTLX8571D3BCV-IT. It is dual-rate, running at both 10 Gbps (10GBASE-SR) and 1 Gbps (1000BASE-SX), so it works in 10G SFP+ ports and legacy gigabit SFP ports alike. The module is hot-pluggable, energy efficient, and built for continuous operation, providing a cost-effective solution for upgrading to 10 Gbps fiber connectivity using standard LC duplex multimode cabling.

Perfect for enterprise networks, homelabs, virtualization clusters, and high-throughput storage environments.
