Description
module
The AFBR-742B receiver
module contains a 12-channel
PIN photodiode array coupled
with a custom preamplifier /
post amplifier integrated
circuit.
The AFBR-732B transmitter
and AFBR-742B receiver are
high performance fiber optic
modules for parallel optical
data communication
applications. These 12-channel
devices, operating up to 2.5Gbd
per channel, provide a cost
effective solution for short-
reach applications requiring up
to 30 Gb/s aggregate bandwidth.
These modules are designed to
operate on multimode fiber
systems at a nominal
wavelength of 850 nm. They
incorporate high performance,
highly reliable, short
wavelength optical devices
coupled with proven circuit
technology to provide long life
and consistent service.
• Separatetransmitterandreceiver
modules
• 2.5 Gbd data rate per channel
• StandardMTP®(MPO)ribbonfiber
connectorinterface
• Pluggablepackage
Operating from a single +3.3 V
power supply, both modules
provide LVTTL or LVCMOS
control interfaces and Current
Mode Logic (CML) compatible
data interfaces to simplify
external circuitry.
• 50/125micronmultimodefiber
operation:
Distance up to 50 m with 50um,
500 MHz.km fiber at 2.5 Gbd
• DataI/OisCMLcompatible
• ControlI/OisLVTTL compatible
• Manufactured in an ISO 9002
certifiedfacility
The transmitter and receiver
devices are housed in MTP®/
MPO receptacledpackages.
Electrical connections to the
devices are achieved by means
of a pluggable 10 x 10
