The HFBR-1521Z and HFBR-2521Z are part of Broadcom's HFBR-1500/2500 series plastic optical fiber (POF) transceivers, designed for short-distance data communication. These modules integrate a 660 nm LED light source and a photodiode receiver in a compact package, providing a simple and reliable point-to-point optical link solution widely used in industrial control, embedded systems, and environments sensitive to electromagnetic interference.
The HFBR-1521Z is the transmitter module, converting electrical signals into 660 nm optical signals and launching them into 1.0 mm plastic optical fiber. Its optimized design ensures stable output power, fast response, and reliable operation across an extended industrial temperature range, while complying with RoHS environmental standards.
The HFBR-2521Z is the corresponding receiver, detecting optical signals from the HFBR-1521Z transmitter and converting them back into standard electrical output. Used together, these modules provide matched optical performance and consistent sensitivity, ensuring stable short-distance POF link operation.
