these standards is detailed in Table 1. The metal housing
and shielded design of the AFBR-59M5LZ minimize the
EMI challenge facing the equipment designer.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
The AFBR-59M5LZ is compatible with ESD levels found
in typical manufacturing and operating environments as

and high strength, heat resistant, chemical resistant and
UL 94V-0 flame retardant plastic.
The first case is during handling of the transceiver prior to
soldering onto the host board. To protect the device, it’s
important to use normal ESD handling precautions. These
include using grounded wrist straps, workbenches and
floor mats wherever the transceiver is handled.
EMI Immunity
Due to its shielded design, the EMI immunity of the AFBR-
59M5LZ exceeds typical industry standards.
The second case to consider is static discharges to the
exterior of the host equipment chassis after assembly.
If the optical interface is exposed to the exterior of host
equipment cabinet, the transceiver may be subject to
system level ESD requirements.
