AFBR-16xxZ and AFBR-26x4Z/25x9Z
DC-50MBd Versatile Link Fiber Optic Transmitter
and Receiver for 1 mm POF and 200 m PCS
Data Sheet
Description
The AFBR-16xxZ transmitter utilizes a 650 nm LED source
with integrated optics and driver IC for e cient coupling
into 1 mm Polymer Optical Fiber (POF). The AFBR-
26x4Z/25x9Z receiver consists of an IC with an integrated
photodiode to produce a logic compatible output. The
transmitter input and receiver output are compatible with
TTL logic families. The pair operates any type of signal
from DC up to 50 MBd at distances up to 50 m with 1 mm
POF, up to 200 m at 10 MBd and 120 m at 50 MBd with 200
m Plastic-Clad Silica (PCS), respectively.
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. For details, contact Avago Technologies or visit our
company website at www.avagotech.com
AFBR-xxx4Z are delivering non-inverted output signals
while AFBR-xxx9Z deliver inverted output signals.

Application Literature
Application Note 1035 (Versatile Link) - AV02-0730EN
Package and Handling Information
The compact Versatile Link pack age is made of a  ame-
retardant material and uses the same pad layout as a
standard, eight-pin dual-in-line package. Horizontal,
Vertical, and Tilted (30°) packages are available. These
low pro le Versa tile Link packages are stackable and are
enclosed to provide a dust-resistant seal. Snap action
simplex, simplex latching, duplex, and duplex latching
connectors are o ered with simplex or duplex cables.
Package Orientation
Performance and pinouts for the horizontal, vertical, and
tilted (30°) packages are identical. To provide addi tional
attachment support for the vertical Versatile Link
housing, the designer has the option of using a self-
tapping screw through a printed circuit board into a
mounting hole at the bottom of the package. For most
applications this is not necessary.
Package Housing Color
Versatile Link components and simplex connectors are
color coded to eliminate confusion when making con-
nections. Receiver packages are black and transmitter
packages are gray in color respectively.
Handling
Versatile Link components are auto-insertable. When
wave soldering is performed with Versatile Link compo-
nents, the optical port plug should be left in to prevent
contamination of the port. Do not use re ow solder
processes (i.e., infrared re ow or vapor-phase re ow).
Nonhalogenated water soluble  uxes (i.e., 0% chloride),
not rosin based  uxes, are recom mended for use with
Versatile Link components.
Versatile Link components are moisture sensitive
devices and are shipped in a moisture sealed bag. If the
components are exposed to air for an extended period of
time, they may require a baking step before the solder ing
process. Refer to the special labeling on the shipping tube
for details.
Recommended Chemicals for Cleaning/Degreasing
Alcohols: methyl, isopropyl, isobutyl. Aliphatics: hexane,
heptane. Other: soap solution, naphtha.
Do not use partially halogenated hydrocarbons such
as 1,1.1 trichloroethane, ketones such as MEK, acetone,
chloroform, ethyl acetate, methylene dichloride, phenol,
methylene chloride, or N-methylpyrolldone. Also, Avago
does not recommend the use of cleaners that use
halogenated hydrocarbons because of their potential en-
vironmental harm.
