Preliminary specification

Optical receiver module

BGE67BO/SC

FEATURES

• Excellent linearity

• Extremely low noise

• Excellent flatness

• Standard CATV outline

• Rugged construction

• Gold metallization ensures excellent reliability.

APPLICATIONS

• Reverse receiver amplifier in two-way CATV systems in

the 5 to 300 MHz frequency range.

DESCRIPTION

Hybrid high dynamic range optical amplifier module in a

SOT115P package operating at a voltage supply of

+24 V (DC). The module contains a monomode optical

input suitable for wavelengths from 1290 to 1 600 nm, a

terminal to monitor the pin diode current and an electrical

output with an impedance of 75

Ω. The optical fibre is

terminated by an SC/APC connector and partly reinforced

by a 3 mm diameter Kevlar buffer.

QUICK REFERENCE DATA

HANDLING

Fibreglass optical coupling: maximum tensile strength = 5 N; minimum bending radius = 35 mm.

To prevent damage to the optical fibre, a clamp should be fixed at a distance of not less than 26 mm from the cap of the

module.
