Broadcom AFBR-1521CZ

The AFBR-15x1CZ analog transmitter utilizes a 650 nm LED source, and the AFBR-25x1CZ receiver consists of an IC with an integrated photodiode providing a TTL logic family compatible output. AFBR-25x1CZ devices have inverted output signals, which means that light_on leads to Data_out low. The transmitter and receiver housing is designed to efficiently couple into 1-mm Polymer Optical Fiber (POF) and 200-μm diameter Plastic-Clad Silica (PCS). Links up to 58 m are supported with 1-mm POF, and up to 500 m with 200-μm PCS. The transmitter is designed to interoperate with Avago Technologies’ HFBR-.25xxZ and AFBR-26xxZ receivers as well. A link with AFBR-15x1CZ and AFBR-25x1CZ enables operating temperatures up to +95 ℃. The transmitter and receiver are 4-pin devices, packed in Versatile Link housings. Versatile Link components 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 components.
