Broadcom Versatile Link Series Fibre Optic Transmitter, 50Mbps Maximum Data Rate, 200m Maximum Data Transmission Distance - AFBR-1634Z


This Fibre optic transmitter converts electrical signals into optical output for short-range data links in industrial settings. It is designed for through-hole mounting and connects via a square Versatile Link connector to provide point-to-point optical transmission where Compact size and low-voltage operation are required.

Features and Benefits:


• 50Mbps data rate supports moderate-speed serial communications
• 200m maximum transmission distance extends local link reach
• 685nm Peak sensitivity enables matched receiver responsiveness
• 5ns rise and fall times allow fast signal edge fidelity
• 4-pin configuration simplifies straightforward electrical interfacing
• 6V forward voltage reduces supply requirements for integration

Applications


• Suitable for industrial Fibre optic link 200m runs
• Ideal for control-network segments requiring 50Mbps throughput
• Used with square connector Fibre optic module panels
• Can be used for sensor-to-controller optical isolation tasks
• Used for Compact 18.1mm Fibre optic module installations

What mounting method is used for PCB integration?


It uses a through-hole mount style suitable for conventional soldering and mechanical support.

How does the connector form factor affect panel design?


The square connector shape provides predictable mating orientation and simplifies panel cut-out alignment.

Which electrical input does it require to operate correctly?


The device needs a low-voltage supply with a forward voltage around 6V for correct optical emission.

What signal performance can be expected for Pulse transmission?


Typical rise and fall times are 5ns each, supporting Rapid Pulse transitions for timing-sensitive links.
