HFBR-2505CZ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance of the HFBR-2505CZ?
  Broadcom recommends a PCB layout with a solid ground plane, minimal trace lengths, and a 50-ohm transmission line impedance to ensure optimal performance and minimize signal reflections.
• How do I handle the HFBR-2505CZ's sensitivity to ESD and moisture?
  Handle the device with anti-static wrist straps, mats, and packaging to prevent ESD damage. Store the device in a dry, cool place, and avoid exposing it to moisture or high humidity environments.
• What is the maximum cable length supported by the HFBR-2505CZ?
  The maximum cable length supported by the HFBR-2505CZ depends on the specific application and the type of fiber optic cable used. As a general guideline, Broadcom recommends keeping the cable length below 100 meters to ensure reliable data transmission.
• Can I use the HFBR-2505CZ with a different type of fiber optic connector?
  The HFBR-2505CZ is designed to work with SC-type fiber optic connectors. While it may be possible to use other types of connectors, Broadcom recommends using SC-type connectors to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
• How do I troubleshoot issues with the HFBR-2505CZ, such as low optical power or high bit error rates?
  Troubleshoot issues by checking the fiber optic cable connections, ensuring proper PCB layout and termination, and verifying the transmitter and receiver settings. Use optical power meters and bit error rate testers to diagnose and isolate the problem.
