Description
The HFBR-0300 Series is
designed to provide the most
cost-effective 1300 nm fiber optic
links for a wide variety of data
communication applications from
low-speed distance extenders up
to SONET OC-3 signal rates.
Pinouts identical to Agilent
HFBR-0400 Series allow
designers to easily upgrade their
820 nm links for farther distance.
The transmitter and receiver are
compatible with two popular
optical fiber sizes: 50/125
m and
62.5/125
m diameter. This
allows flexibility in choosing a
fiber size. The 1300 nm wave-
length is in the lower dispersion
and attenuation region of fiber,
and provides longer distance
capabilities than 820 nm LED
technology. Typical distance
capabilities are 2 km at 125 MBd
and 5 km at 32 MBd.
Transmitter
The HFBR-1312T fiber optic
transmitter contains a 1300 nm
InGaAsP light emitting diode
capable of efficiently launching
optical power into 50/125
m and
62.5/125
m diameter fiber.
Converting the interface circuit
from a HFBR-14XX 820 nm
transmitter to the HFBR-1312T
requires only the removal of a few
passive components.
Receiver
The HFBR-2316T receiver con-
tains an InGaAs PIN photodiode
and a low-noise transimpedance
preamplifier that operate in the
1300 nm wavelength region. The
HFBR-2316T receives an optical
signal and converts it to an analog
voltage. The buffered output is an
emitter-follower, with frequency
response from DC to typically 125
MHz. Low-cost external compo-
nents can be used to convert the
analog output to logic compatible
signal levels for a variety of data
formats and data rates. The

Mechanical Dimensions
HFBR-2316T is pin compatible
with HFBR-24X6 receivers and
can be used to extend the
distance of an existing application
by substituting the HFBR-2316T
for the HFBR-2416.
Package Information
HFBR-0300 Series transmitters
and receivers are housed is a
dual-in-line package made of high
strength, heat resistant, chem-
ically resistant, and UL V-0 flame
retardant plastic. Transmitters are
identified by the brown port
color; receivers have black ports.
The package is auto-insertable
and wave solderable for high
volume production applications.
Note: The "T" in the product
numbers indicates a Threaded ST
connector (panel mountable), for
both transmitter and receiver.
Handling and Design
Information
When soldering, it is advisable to
leave the protective cap on the
unit to keep the optics clean.
Good system performance
requires clean port optics and
cable ferrules to avoid obstructing
the optical path. Clean com-
pressed air is often sufficient to
remove particles of dirt; methanol
on a cotton swab also works well.

Panel Mounting.
CAUTION: The small junction sizes inherent to the design of this bipolar component increase the component's
susceptibility to damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). It is advised that normal static precautions be
taken in handling and assembly of this component to prevent damage and/or degradation which may be
induced by ESD.
Panel Mounting
Hardware
The HFBR-4411 kit consists of
100 nuts and 100 washers with
dimensions as shown in Figure 1.
These kits are available from
Agilent or any authorized distrib-
utor. Any standard size nut and
washer will work, provided the
total thickness of the wall, nut,
and washer does not exceed
0.2 inch (5.1mm).
When preparing the chassis wall
for panel mounting, use the
mounting template in Figure 2.
When tightening the nut, torque
should not exceed 0.8 N-m
(8.0 in-lb).

for Cleaning/Degreasing
HFBR-0300 Products
Alcohols (methyl, isopropyl,

Transmitter Notes:
1. Typical data are at T
A
= 25
C.
2. Thermal resistance is measured with the transmitter coupled to a connector assembly and mounted on a printed circuit board;
JC
<
JA
.
3. Optical power is measured with a large area detector at the end of 1 meter of mode stripped cable, with an ST* precision ceramic
ferrule (MIL-STD-83522/13), which approximates a standard test connector. Average power measurements are made at 12.5 MHz
with a 50% duty cycle drive current of 0 to I

F,peak
/2. Peak optical power is 3 dB higher than average optical
power.
4. When changing from
W to dBm, the optical power is referenced to 1 mW (1000
W).
Optical power P(dBm) = 10*log[P(
W)/1000
W].
5. Fiber NA is measured at the end of 2 meters of mode stripped fiber using the far-field pattern. NA is defined as the sine of the half
angle, determined at 5% of the peak intensity point. When using other manufacturer's fiber cable, results will vary due to differing
NA values and test methods.
6. Overshoot is measured as a percentage of the peak amplitude of the optical waveform to the 100% amplitude level. The 100%
amplitude level is determined at the end of a 40 ns pulse, 50% duty cycle. This will ensure that ringing and other noise sources have
been eliminated.
7. Optical rise and fall times are measured from 10% to 90% with 62.5/125
m fiber. LED response time with recommended test
circuit (Figure 3) at 25 MHz, 50% duty cycle.
