- Available in Commercial Temperature (-5~70 °C) and Industrial Temperature (-40~85 °C)

Product Description
The ABCU-57Z family of electrical transceivers from Broadcom offers full-duplex throughput of 1000 Mbps by transporting data over shielded and unshielded twisted pair category 5 cable with 5-level PAM (Pulse Amplitude Modulation) signals.
The Broadcom 1000BASE-T module takes signals from both the twisted pair category 5 cable and the SerDes interface.
Pin count overhead between the MAC and the PHY is minimised, and Gigabit Ethernet operation is achieved with maximum space savings.
Broadcom QSFP+ SR4 transceivers (AFBR-79EQDZ, AFBR-79EQPZ) are compliant to the IEEE 802.3ba 40GBASE-SR4 standard and are used for dedicated 40G Ethernet point-to-point links.
The iSR4 optical modules (AFBR-79EIDZ, AFBR-79EIPZ) support both 40G Ethernet as well as the optical interoperability with the 10G Ethernet modules.
The rapid growth of data centres has driven many IT managers to ask for a solution that will connect equipment over their multimode structured cabling with links which are longer than what was written into the Ethernet standard.
Broadcom eSR4 modules (AFBR-79EEPZ) further extend the link distance of the iSR4 modules to 300 meters using OM3 MMF and 400 meters using OM4 MMF. This allows a seamless transitioning for the data center operators to migrate from 10G Ethernet to 40G Ethernet without any concern of shortage in link distance.
Broadcom’s offered iSR4/eSR4 solutions also supports a three-fold increase in line card density at 50% of electrical power dissipation per 10G channel when compared with the 10G Ethernet multimode SFP+ transceivers.
Broadcom has also collaborated with the leading cable vendors to further extend the achievable link distance over MMF required in many large-scale data centre applications.
Data centres
Broadcom has worked in collaboration with leading cable manufacturers to create data cables that work reliably at distances well beyond the Ethernet specification.
Space saving
Pin count overhead between the MAC and the PHY is minimised, and Gigabit Ethernet operation is achieved with maximum space savings.
Popular applications
Switch-to-switch interface, switched backplane applications and file server interface.
