Description
The HFBR-0508 Series consists of a fiber-optic transmitter and receiver operating at a 650nm wavelength (red). The HFBR-1528 transmitter is an LED in a low cost plastic housing designed to efficiently couple power into 200µm diameter HCS and 1mm diameter POF. The HFBR-2528 receiver incorporates a PIN detector and digital output IC compatible with CMOS and TTL logic families.
