EMCORE MTX9516

PRODUCT BRIEFS | MARCH 2006
MTX9516 and MRX9516
12 Channel Parallel Optical TX and RX Modules,
3.3 Gbps per Channel
The MTX9516 and MRX9516 are cost-effective high-speed
transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) modules for use as parallel
optical data communication links. The modules perform logic-tolight and light-to-logic conversions for data transmission over
multi-mode fiber ribbon cable, at a wavelength of 850 nm.
Applications
Optical backplanes
Ganged serial links
Very Short Reach SONET
The transmitter module uses a 1x12 oxide-confined VCSEL array.
The receiver uses a high-speed photodiode array.
Logic-logic data links
Board-to-board and shelf-to-shelf
For optical cable connections, both modules use industry
standard IEC 1754-7 MPO connector receptacles. For electrical
connections, both modules use widely accepted 100 pin matrixarray connectors.
