PT-10A
Product Bulletin (Preliminary) • February 2002
• PIN/TIA receiver module
• High data rate, up to 10.7 Gb/s
• High sensitivity, -19 dBm
• 1200–1650 nm wavelength range
• Compact 8-pin butterfly package
• SMA or GPO output connector
The PT-10A is a -19 dBm sensitivity,
single-output receiver module for
OC-192 / STM-64 transmission system
receive applications up to 10.7 Gb/s.
It couples a high responsivity (1 A/W),
back-illuminated PIN photodiode, usable
from 1200 nm to 1650 nm, with an
internal transimpedance gain stage of
500 V/A. This combination produces a
receiver with a 9 GHz bandwidth and
conversion gain of 500 V/W.
The single-coaxial output module is
available with either an SMA or GPO
output connector in a compact, 8-pin
butterfly package with single-mode fiber
input. A single +8V power supply can be
used. The receiver meets Telcordia
GR-468 qualification standards.
