APPLICATION SUPPORT
Package and Handling
Instructions
Flammability
The HFBR/HFCT-5912E
transceiver housing consists of
high strength, heat resistant,
chemically resistant, and UL 94 V-0
flame retardant plastic and metal
packaging.
Recommended Solder and
Wash Process
The HFBR/HFCT-5912E is
compatible with industry-
standard wave or hand solder
processes.
Process plug
This transceiver is supplied with
a process plug for protection of
the optical port within the MT-RJ
connector receptacle. This
process plug prevents
contamination during wave
solder and aqueous rinse as well
as during handling, shipping and
storage. It is made of a high-
temperature, molded sealing
material that can withstand
+80°C and a rinse pressure of
110 lbs per square inch. Due to
the differences in the multimode
and single mode connector
construction, the HFBR-5912E
and HFCT-5912E process plugs
are different and not
interchangeable. The multimode
port plug is black and the single
mode variant is a blue color.
Recommended Solder fluxes
Solder fluxes used with the
HFBR/HFCT-5912E should be
water-soluble, organic fluxes.
Recommended solder fluxes
include Lonco 3355-11 from
London Chemical West, Inc. of
Burbank, CA, and 100 Flux from
Alpha-Metals of Jersey City, NJ.
Recommended Cleaning/
Degreasing Chemicals
Alcohols:
methyl, isopropyl,
isobutyl.
Aliphatics:
hexane, heptane
Other:
naphtha.
Do not use
partially halogenated
hydrocarbons such as 1,1.1
trichloroethane, ketones such as
MEK, acetone, chloroform, ethyl
acetate, methylene dichloride,
phenol, methylene chloride, or
N-methylpyrolldone. Also,
Agilent does not recommend the
use of cleaners that use
halogenated hydrocarbons
because of their potential
environmental harm.
Regulatory Compliance
(See the Regulatory Compliance
Table for transceiver performance)
The overall equipment design will
determine the certification level.
The transceiver performance is
offered as a figure of merit to
assist the designer in considering
their use in equipment designs.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
There are two design cases in
which immunity to ESD damage
is important.
The first case is during handling
of the transceiver prior to
mounting it on the circuit board.
It is important to use normal ESD
handling precautions for ESD
sensitive devices. These pre-
cautions include using grounded
wrist straps, work benches, and
floor mats in ESD controlled
areas. The transceiver perform-
ance has been shown to provide
adequate performance in typical
industry production environments.
The second case to consider is
static discharges to the exterior of
the equipment chassis containing
the transceiver parts. To the
extent that the MT-RJ connector
receptacle is exposed to the
outside of the equipment chassis
it may be subject to whatever
system-level ESD test criteria that
the equipment is intended to meet.
The transceiver performance is
more robust than typical industry
equipment requirements of today.
Electromagnetic Interference
(EMI)
Most equipment designs utilizing
these high-speed transceivers
from Agilent will be required to
meet the requirements of FCC in
the United States, CENELEC
EN55022 (CISPR 22) in Europe
and VCCI in Japan. Refer to EMI
section (page 5) for more details.
Immunity
Equipment utilizing these
transceivers will be subject to
radio-frequency electromagnetic
fields in some environments.
These transceivers have good
immunity to such fields due to
their shielded design.
Eye Safety
These laser-based transceivers
are classified as AEL Class I
(U.S. 21 CFR(J) and AEL Class 1
per EN 60825-1 (+A11). They are
eye safe when used within the
data sheet limits per CDRH. They
are also eye safe under normal
operating conditions and under
all reasonably foreseeable single
fault conditions per EN60825-1.
Agilent has tested the transceiver
design for compliance with the
requirements listed below under
normal operating conditions and
under single fault conditions
where applicable. TUV Rheinland
has granted certification to these
transceivers for laser eye safety
and use in EN 60950 and
EN 60825-2 applications. Their
performance enables the
transceivers to be used without
concern for eye safety up to 5.0 V
