Description

The AFBR-T524Z transmitter utilizes a 650nm LED source

with integrated optics and driver IC for efficient coupling

into 1mm Polymer Optical Fiber (POF). The AFBR-R524Z

receiver incorporates a PIN detector and digital output IC.

The transmitter input and receiver output are compatible

with TTL logic families. The pair operates up to 50MBd at

distances up to 50 meters with 1mm POF using bi-phase

encoding scheme.

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. Please contact Avago Technologies for details or
