HFCT-5205

The HFCT-5205 transceiver is a high performance, cost effective module for serial optical data communications applications specified for a signal rate of 155 MBd. It is designed to provide a SONET/SDH compliant link for 155 Mb/s intermediate reach links.

This module is designed for single mode fiber and operates at a nominal wavelength of 1300 nm. It incorporates Agilent's high performance, reliable, long wavelength optical devices and proven circuit technology to give long life and consistent service. The transmitter section uses a Multiple Quantum Well laser with full IEC 825 and CDRH Class I eye safety.

The receiver section uses a planar PIN photodetector for low dark current and excellent responsivity.

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