Description
The OPV215 is a high performance 850nm VCSEL pack-
aged for high speed communication links. OPV215 com-
bines all the performance advantages of a VCSEL with
the addition of a power monitor diode for precise control
of optical power and about 30% optical attenuation for
noise suppression.
The OPV215Y is identical electrically and optically and
differs only in pin out. Refer to mechanical drawings for
details.
This product’s combination of features including high
speed, high output power and concentric beam make it
an ideal transmitter for integration into all types of data
communications equipment.
Applications include:
♦ Fibre Channel
♦ Gigabit Ethernet
♦ ATM
♦ VSR (Very Short Reach)
♦ Intra-system links
♦ Optical backplane interconnects.
