AFBR-0545Z Fast Ethernet Media Converter Board
with the AFBR-5972Z Transceiver
Application Note 5549
Introduction
The Avago AFBR-5972Z transceiver module enables
system designer to implement a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet
data link over standard plastic optical fiber (POF, NA =
0.5). The AFBR-0545Z media converter board allows a
system designer to quickly evaluate AFBR-5972Z trans-
ceiver module performance. The transceiver module
can be connected with Avago Versatile Link connectors
(AFBR-4526Z).The AFBR-5972Z module is lead free and
RoHS compatible.
AFBR-0545Z Media Converter Kit
The media converter kit includes:
1. Media converter board (2 pieces)
2. 12V DC power supply (2 pieces) plus power supply
adapter (5 types, 2 pieces each)
3. 2 meter POF Cable (NA = 0.5) with duplex connector for
the AFBR-5972Z (P/N HFBR-RSD002Z)
4. CAT 5 patch cable (2 pieces)
5. AFBR-0545Z application note
As shown in Figure 1, the media converter board includes
a twisted pair interface, optical transceiver module, a
media converter PHY chip, and power supply interface.
The media converter PHY chip translates the data signal
from the twisted pair domain to the optical domain.
POF cable has many significant advantages over twisted
pair copper media.
 Optical cable is immune to, and does not generate, EM
fields.
 Complete galvanic isolation is also achieved using
optical communication links.
 Plastic optical fiber (POF) also offers a lower weight
media.
 POF offers a low cost cable solution and easy field
termination.
