Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause catastrophic damage to the device. Limits apply to each parameter in isolation, all other parameters having values within the recommended operating conditions. It should not be assumed that limiting values of more than one parameter can be applied to the product at the same time. Exposure to the absolute maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect device reliability.

The HFCT-5215 transceiver is a high performance, cost effective module for serial optical data communications applications specified for a signal rate of 155 MBd. The HFCT-5215 is designed to provide a SONET/SDH compliant link for 155 Mb/s long reach links.

The HFCT-5215 is designed for single mode fiber and operates at a nominal wavelength of 1300 nm. The HFCT-5215 incorporates Agilent's high performance, reliable, long wavelength optical devices and proven circuit technology to give long life and consistent service.

The HFCT-5215's transmitter section uses a Multiple Quantum Well laser with full IEC 825 and CDRH Class I eye safety.

The HFCT-5215's receiver section uses a planar PIN photodetector for low dark current and excellent responsivity.

A pseudo-ECL logic interface simplifies interface to external circuitry.
