Always confirm SFP slot type (SFP vs SFP+) and host firmware version before installation.
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the AFCT-5715APZ is the right module for your application:
- Data Rate: Required ≤ 1.25 Gbps → ✅ AFCT-5715APZ suitable
- Fiber Type: Multimode (OM1/OM2) available → ✅ Suitable; for singlemode, select AFCT-5715SMZ or equivalent SMF variant
- Link Distance: ≤ 550 m → ✅ Suitable; >550 m requires singlemode (1310nm/1550nm) SFP
- Temperature Range: 0–70°C → ✅ Standard; for -40 to +85°C, select AFCT-5715ALZ (industrial temp)
- Host Compatibility: Verify SFP MSA compliance and vendor lock-out policy of your switch/router
- Connector: LC Duplex required → ✅ Confirmed
- DOM Support: Not required for basic links; if DOM needed, select DOM-enabled equivalent

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I use a third-party SFP instead of the AFCT-5715APZ?
A: Yes, in most cases. Ensure the replacement is 1000BASE-SX, LC duplex, 850nm MMF, and MSA-compliant. Some Cisco/HP platforms may require a CLI command to allow third-party modules.
Q: What is the difference between AFCT-5715APZ and AFCT-5715ALZ?
A: The ALZ variant supports extended industrial temperature (-40°C to +85°C), while the APZ is rated for commercial range (0°C to +70°C). Electrically and optically identical.
Q: Is the AFCT-5715APZ compatible with SFP+ slots?
A: SFP+ slots are backward-compatible with SFP modules in most platforms. Verify with your switch vendor documentation.
Q: Do you provide test reports or CoC?
A: Yes. Certificate of Conformance and basic optical test data are available upon request for orders ≥ 5 pcs.
Q: Can I return the module if it doesn’t work in my system?
A: Yes, within 30 days for unused/unopened units. Contact support@konmask.com before returning.
