HFBR-5527

The 125 MBd transceiver is a cost-effective fiber-optic solution for transmission of 125 MBd data up to 100 meters with HCS® fiber. The data link consists of a 650 nm visible, red LED transmitter and a PIN/preamp receiver. These HFBR-5527 can be used with low-cost plastic or hard clad silica fiber. One millimeter diameter plastic fiber provides the lowest cost solution for distances under 25 meters. The lower attenuation of HCS® fiber allows data transmission over longer distance. These components of HFBR-5527 can be used for high speed data links without the problems common with copper wire solutions.

The HFBR-5527 transmitter is a high power 650 nm LED. Both transmitter and receiver are molded in one housing which is compatible with the FO7 connector. This connector is designed to efficiently couple the power into POF or HCS® fiber.

With the recommended drive circuit, the LED operates at speeds from 1-125 MBd. The analog high bandwidth receiver contains a PIN photodiode and internal transimpedance amplifier. With the recommended application circuit for 125 MBd operation, the performance of the complete data link is specified for 0-25 meters with plastic fiber. A wide variety of other digitizing circuits can be combined with the HFBR-5527 Series to optimize performance and cost at higher or lower data rates.
