AFBR-57G5APZ-HP1 is a 32G Fibre Channel (32GFC) SFP28 optical transceiver module, manufactured by Broadcom (formerly Avago) and commonly supplied as an OEM part for HPE (Hewlett Packard Enterprise) equipment.

It is the internal Broadcom part number that corresponds to HPE’s official transceiver part number Q2P62A (HPE 32Gb SFP28 Short Wave E-Temp Transceiver).

Key Specifications

• Form factor: SFP28 (backward compatible with SFP+ slots in most cases)

• Data rate: 32 Gbps (primary), with multi-rate support for 32GFC, 16GFC, and 8GFC (Fibre Channel)

• Wavelength: 850 nm (VCSEL laser)

• Fiber type: Multimode fiber (MMF)

• Connector: LC Duplex

• Reach: Typically up to 100 m on OM4 MMF (≈70–100 m depending on fiber grade; shorter on OM3)

• Temperature range: Extended (-5°C to +85°C), often labeled “E-Temp”

• Digital Diagnostics: Yes (DDM/DOM supported)

• Application: Primarily Storage Area Networks (SAN) using Fibre Channel protocol, high-performance computing, and data center switch-to-switch or switch-to-server links

This transceiver is not an Ethernet module (it does not support 25/32Gb Ethernet standards directly — it’s Fibre Channel optimized), although the physical SFP28 form factor is the same as many 25/32GbE modules.

Common Use Cases

• HPE Storage switches (e.g., HPE SN6000, SN6600B series Fibre Channel switches)

• HPE servers with compatible HBAs (Host Bus Adapters)

• Brocade-based SAN fabrics (many HPE SAN products are rebranded Brocade)

If you’re looking for compatibility, replacement, or purchasing options, it’s widely available as:

• HPE Q2P62A (official branded version)

• Third-party compatible versions of AFBR-57G5APZ-HP1 or AFBR-57G5MZ variants

The closest public Broadcom datasheet is for the very similar AFBR-57G5MZ, which shares the same core technology (32GFC SFP28 850 nm multimode transceiver). The “-HP1” suffix typically indicates an HPE-specific firmware/configuration/branding variant.
