HFBR-14xxZ and HFBR-24xxZ Series
Low-Cost, 820 nm Miniature Link Fiber Optic Components
with ST®, SMA, SC and FC Ports
Data Sheet
Description
The 820 nm Miniature Link Series of components is
designed to provide cost-effective, high performance
fiber optic communication links for information systems
and industrial applications with link distances of several
kilometers. With the HFBR-24x6Z, the 125 MHz analog
receiver, data rates of up to 160 MBd can be attained.
Transmitters and receivers are directly compatible with
popular “industry-standard” connectors: ST®, SMA, SC
and FC. They are completely specified with multiple fiber
sizes; including 50/125
µm,
62.5/125
µm,
100/140
µm,
and 200
µm.
Products are available in various options. For example,
transmitters with the improved protection option “P”
show an increased ESD resistance to the pins. This
“HFBR-141xPxZ” integrated solution is realized by includ-
ing a Zener diode parallel to the LED.
The HFBR-14x4Z high power transmitter and HFBR-24x6Z
125 MHz receiver pair up to provide a duplex solution
optimized for 100 Base-SX. 100Base-SX is a Fast Ethernet
Standard (100 Mbps) at 850 nm on multimode fiber.
Evaluation kits are available for ST products, including
transmitter, receiver, eval board and technical literature.

Package and Handling Information
Package Information
All transmitters and receivers of the 820 nm Miniature
Link Series are housed in a low-cost, dual-inline package
that is made of high strength, heat resistant, chemically
resistant, and UL 94V-O flame retardant plastic (UL File
#E121562). The transmitters are easily identified by the
light grey color connector port. The receivers are easily
identified by the dark grey color connector port. (Black
color for conductive port). The package is designed for
pick and place and wave soldering so it is ideal for high
volume production applications.
Recommended Chemicals for Cleaning/Degreasing
820 nm Miniature Link Products
Alcohols: methyl, isopropyl, isobutyl.
Aliphatics: hexane, heptane, Other: soap solution, naph-
tha.
Do not use partially halogenated hydrocarbons (such as
1.1.1 trichloroethane), ketones (such as MEK), acetone,
chloroform, ethyl acetate, methylene dichloride, phe-
nol, methylene chloride, or N-methylpyrolldone. Also,
Avago does not recommend the use of cleaners that use
halogenated hydrocarbons because of their potential
environmental harm.
Handling and Design Information
Each part comes with a protective port cap or plug cov-
ering the optics. Note: This plastic or rubber port cap is
made to protect the optical path during assembly. It is
not meant to remain on the part for a long period. These
caps/plugs will vary by port style. When soldering, it is
advisable to leave the protective cap on the unit to keep
the optics clean. Good system performance requires
clean port optics and cable ferrules to avoid obstructing
the optical path.
Clean compressed air often is sufficient to remove par-
ticles of dirt; methanol on a cotton swab also works well.
