The purpose of the Avago AFCT-5716Z evaluation kit is to provide designers with a convenient means of evaluating Avago SFP+ and SFP+ AOC fiber optic transceiver modules supporting 16G fiber channel (16GFC) and 10G Ethernet applications. The evaluation kit is compliant with ANSI Fibre Channel FC-PI-5 for high speed electrical and optical specifications. The AFCT-5716Z provides SMA connectors for high speed Tx and Rx signals. The low speed control signals such as Tx_Fault, Rx_LOS and Rate_Selects can be controlled by using on-board switches and test points. A connector for 2 wire serial interface to the module is also provided. A list of Avago SFP+ products supported by the evaluation kit includes (but is not limited to) the following:
