Greetings All,
Over the last twenty + years, Centroid has used a variety of different fiber optic devices from Avago/Broadcom, such as R-2524, R-2531, R-2521Z, T-1531, and T-1521Z to name just a few. When replacement is necessary, must the original part be used, or are there specific transmitters and receivers that are backward compatible? Thank You in advance.

Re: Fiber optic devices
As always, it is best to replace with the same part number. In general, if you are using MPU11 generation equipment then you should use the 5 MBaud parts (HFBR x5x1). If it is older things like RTK2, it probably does not matter whether you use the 5 MBaud or 1 MBaud parts. A breakdown is in the datasheet: https://docs.broadcom.com/doc/AV02-1501EN
