Agilent HFBR-5601 Gigabit Ethernet Transceiver Module

The Agilent HFBR-5601 is a Gigabit Interface Converter (GIC) transceiver module designed for high-speed fiber optic data transmission in telecommunications and data networking applications. This hot-swappable optical transceiver supports 1000BASE-SX standard operation at 1.25 Gbps data rate over multimode fiber optic cables. The module utilizes short-wavelength 850nm VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) technology for reliable optical transmission with typical link distances up to 550 meters on 50/125μm multimode fiber and up to 220 meters on 62.5/125μm multimode fiber. The HFBR-5601 features dual fiber optic connectivity with FC and SC connector interfaces, providing flexibility for various installation requirements. The transceiver incorporates a compact form factor design compatible with industry-standard Gigabit Ethernet switches, routers, and media converters. It includes built-in digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM) capabilities for real-time monitoring of optical output power, received optical power, temperature, laser bias current, and supply voltage. The module operates from a single +3.3V power supply with typical power consumption of 1.0W. It supports automatic laser shutdown (ALS) function for eye safety compliance and features electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding for reliable operation in dense equipment installations. The HFBR-5601 is compliant with IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet standards and SFF-8074i specifications. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 70°C, making it suitable for standard indoor data center and telecommunications equipment room environments. The module includes LC-type fiber optic receptacles and supports both full-duplex transmission and reception on separate fiber strands.
