Broadcom Versatile Link Series Fibre Optic Transmitter, 20m Maximum Data Transmission Distance, 5MBd Maximum Data Rate - HFBR-1521Z
This Fibre optic transmitter is a Compact optical emitter designed to convert electrical signals into short-range optical links for data transmission. It operates with a round connector compatible with Versatile Link systems and is intended for through-hole mounting on circuit boards in applications requiring short-distance Fibre communication.
Features and Benefits:
• Operates at a Peak sensitivity Wavelength of 660 nm for matched Fibre response
• Supports data rates up to 5 MBd for short-range signalling
• Maximum transmission reach of 20 m for local link connections
• Low forward voltage of 2.02 V minimises drive voltage requirements
• Fast rise time 80 ns and fall time 40 ns for responsive signalling
• Six-pin through-hole package simplifies board-level integration
• Supports data rates up to 5 MBd for short-range signalling
• Maximum transmission reach of 20 m for local link connections
• Low forward voltage of 2.02 V minimises drive voltage requirements
• Fast rise time 80 ns and fall time 40 ns for responsive signalling
• Six-pin through-hole package simplifies board-level integration
Applications
• Suitable for industrial short-range optical control links
• Ideal for inter-module communication within equipment racks
• Used with Versatile Link round connectors in local networks
• Can be used for sensor data transmission over Fibre up to 20 m
• Suitable for replacement or upgrade in existing through-hole designs
