Fiber-optic transceiver

The Model 5LD9 fiber-optic transceiver for Gigabit Ethernet singlemode applications complies with ieee P802.3z for 1000Base-LX long-wavelength standard. The module is housed in an industry-standard 9-pin-type package. The transmitter uses an automatic power control circuit, which constantly monitors and adjusts the laser for constant power output. The device is available in 1310- and 1550-nm wavelength versions, with a choice of Fabry-Perot or distributed-feedback lasers in various optical power grades. The 1550-nm version can be used for distances of 60 km of fiber. The receiver incorporates an automatic gain control circuit to achieve an optimum optical saturation level of -3 dBm.
