Broadcom HFBR-2412Z

The 820-nanometer MicroLink series components are designed to provide low-cost, high-performance fiber-optic communication links for information systems and industrial applications, with link distances reaching up to several kilometers. Using the HFBR-24x6Z, a 125 MHz analog receiver, data rates of up to 160 MBaud can be achieved. The transmitters and receivers are directly compatible with popular "industry standard" connectors: ST, SMA, SC, and FC. They have complete specifications for various fiber sizes, including 50/125 μm, 62.5/125 μm, 100/140 μm, and 200 μm. The products come with multiple options. For example, the transmitter with the improved protection option P has higher ESD resistance on the pins. This HFBR-141xPxZ integrated solution is achieved by connecting a Zener diode in parallel with the LED. The pairing of the HFBR-14x4Z high-power transmitter and the HFBR-24x6Z 125 MHz receiver provides a duplex solution optimized for 100BASE-Sx. 100BASE-Sx is a Fast Ethernet standard (100 Mb/s) over 850 nm multimode fiber. Evaluation kits are available for ST products, including transmitters, receivers, evaluation boards, and technical literature.
