AFBR-16xxZ and AFBR-26x4Z/25x9Z
DC-50MBd Versatile Link Fiber Optic Transmitter
and Receiver for 1 mm POF and 200 m PCS
Data Sheet
Description
Features
The AFBR-16xxZ transmitter utilizes a 650 nm LED source RoHS-compliant
with integrated optics and driver IC for efficient coupling
Data transmission at signal rates from DC up to 50 MBd
into 1 mm Polymer Optical Fiber (POF). The AFBR-
26x4Z/25x9Z receiver consists of an IC with an integrated
photodiode to produce a logic compatible output. The
Transmitter: integrated 650 nm LED and driver IC with
TTL input logic
transmitter input and receiver output are compatible with Receiver: integrated PIN diode and digitalizing IC with
TTL logic families. The pair operates any type of signal
from DC up to 50 MBd at distances up to 50 m with 1 mm
POF, up to 200 m at 10 MBd and 120 m at 50 MBd with 200
m Plastic-Clad Silica (PCS), respectively.
TTL output logic
Up to 50 m distance with 1 mm Polymer Optical Fiber
(POF) over operating temperature range
Up to 200 m (10 MBd) distance and 120 m (50 MBd)
distance with 200 m Plastic-Clad Silica (PCS) over
operating temperature range
The transmitter is a 3-pin and the receiver is a 4-pin device,
packed in Versatile Link housing. Versatile Link compo-
nents can be interlocked (N-plexed together) to minimize
space and to provide dual connections with the duplex
connectors. Various simplex and duplex connectors, as
well as POF cables are available for Versatile Link compo-
nents. For details, contact Avago Technologies or visit our
company website at www.avagotech.com
Operating temperature range of -40 C to +85 C
Compatible with Avago’s Versatile Link family of
connectors, for easy termination of fiber
