AFCT-5943LZ, AFCT-5943ALZ
Single Mode SFF Transceivers for SONET
OC-48/SDH STM-16 Multirate Operation
(Part of the Avago Technologies’ METRAK family)
Data Sheet
Description
The AFCT-5943xxZ are high performance, cost eective
modules for serial optical data communications applica-
tions that range from 125 Mb/s to 2.7 Gb/s. They are de-
signed to provide SONET/SDH compliant links at 2488
Mb/s for short reach links.
The modules are designed for single mode ber and
operate at a nominal wavelength of 1300 nm. They in-
corporate high performance, reliable, long wavelength
optical devices and proven circuit technology to give
long life and consistent service.
The transmitter section of the AFCT-5943LZ/ALZ incor-
porates a 1300 nm Fabry Perot (FP) laser. The transmit-
ter has full IEC 825 and CDRH Class 1 eye safety.
For each device the receiver section uses an MOVPE
grown planar SEDET PIN photodetector for low dark
current and excellent responsivity.
A positive ECL logic interface simplies interface to ex-
ternal circuitry.
The transceivers are supplied in the new industry stan-
dard 2 x 5 DIP style package with the LC ber connector
interface and is footprint compatible with SFF Multi
Source Agreement (MSA).
