AT10XGC-J - Bookham Technology, Inc.

Data Sheet

The AT10XGC receiver consists of an avalanche photodiode,

alow-noise preamplifier and a precision NTC thermistor in a

hermetic coplanar packagewith a connectorized single-mode

fiber pigtail. Differential outputs are provided to improve noise

rejection for enhanced sensitivity. It has been optimised for

use in 10Gb/s metro or long-haul applications, either as a

discrete device or within a transponder, using NRZ

modulation, with or without FEC, at data rates up

to 10.709Gb/s.

Features:

• High sensitivity, -28.5dBm typical

• Low capacitance high speed

InGaAs APD photodetector

• Supports FEC rates up to 10.709Gb/s

• Best in class power consumption, only 300mW

• Designed to exceed the environmental requirements

of Telcordia GR-468-CORE

• RoHS 5/6 compliant

Applications:

• Client or line side links

• 300 pin LR transponder applications

• Yellow fiber pigtail for MSA compliance
