Agilent HFBR-0400, HFBR-14xx and
HFBR-24xx Series Low Cost, Miniature
Fiber Optic Components with ST®,
SMA, SC and FC Ports
Data Sheet
Description
The HFBR-0400 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 up to 2.7
kilometers. With the HFBR-24x6,
the 125 MHz analog receiver,
data rates of up to 160
megabaud are attainable.
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.
The HFBR-14x4 high power
transmitter and HFBR-24x6 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.
Applications
• 100Base-SX Fast Ethernet on 850
nm
• Media/fiber conversion, switches,
routers, hubs and NICs on
100Base-SX
• Local Area Networks
• Computer to Peripheral Links
• Computer Monitor Links
• Digital Cross Connect Links
• Central Office Switch/PBX Links
• Video Links
• Modems and Multiplexers
• Suitable for Tempest Systems
• Industrial Control Links
Complete evaluation kits are
available for ST product
offerings; including transmitter,
receiver, connectored cable, and
technical literature. In addition,
ST connectored cables are
available for evaluation.
