Features
Description
• AFCT-5942LZ/ALZ: Links of 2 km with 9/125 µm single
mode fiber (SMF)
• AFCT-5942TLZ/ATLZ: Links of 15 km with 9/125 µm
single mode fiber (SMF)

• Temperature range:
The AFCT-5942xxxZ are high performance, cost effective
modules for serial optical data communications applica-
tions. They are designed to provide SONET/SDH compli-
ant links at 2488 Mb/s for both short and intermediate
reach links.
The modules are designed for single mode fiber and op-
erate at a nominal wavelength of 1300 nm. They incorpo-
rate high performance, reliable, long wavelength optical
devices and proven circuit technology to give long life
and consistent service.

• Compliant with ITU-T G.957, STM-16, I-16 and S-16.1
Optical Interfaces
• AFCT-5942LZ/ALZ/TLZ/ATLZ: With EMI shield
• AFCT-5942GZ/AGZ/TGZ/ATGZ: Without EMI shield
• Receiver output squelch function enabled
The transmitter section of the AFCT-5942LZ/ALZ/GZ/
AGZ incorporates a 1300 nm Fabry Perot (FP) laser. The
transmitter in the AFCT-5942TLZ/ATLZ/TGZ/ATGZ uses a
Distributed Feedback (DFB) Laser. The transmitter has full
IEC 825 and CDRH Class 1 eye safety.
For each device the receiver section uses an MOVPE
grown planar SEDET PIN photodetector for low dark cur-
rent and excellent responsivity.
A positive ECL logic interface simplifies interface to exter-
nal circuitry.
Applications
• SONET/SDH equipment interconnect
• Client Interface on Metro Gateways and Edge Switches
The transceivers are supplied in the new industry stan-
dard 2 x 10 DIP style package with the LC fiber connec-
tor interface and is footprint compatible with SFF Multi
Source Agreement (MSA).
