Broadcom AFBR-1634Z

The AFBR-16xxZ transmitter utilizes a 650 nm LED source with integrated optics and driver IC for efficient coupling 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 input and receiver output are compatible 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 µm Plastic-Clad Silica (PCS), respectively. The transmitter is a 3-pin and the receiver is a 4-pin device, packed in Versatile Link housing. 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. AFBR-xxx4Z are delivering non-inverted output signals while AFBR-xxx9Z deliver inverted output signals.
