Description
The R2860F receiver module incorporates a highspeed planar PIN diode and a GaAs PHEMT preamplifier to provide exceptionally high performance. The unit provides high bandwidth and sensitivity to operate with long, dispersive fibers, plus wide dynamic range for operation over a variety of loss budgets. High transimpedance coupled with a nonquantizing limiting buffer output provides high gain while limiting the maximum output signal swing, thereby simplifying the interface to subsequent stages.

Features
■ High sensitivity, –20 dBm typical
■ Wide dynamic range, 2 dBm overload typical
■ High transimpedance, 2000 Ω typical
■ Hermetically sealed
■ Optimized for multiple supply voltages, including ±5 V dual supplies, 8 V only, or –8 V only
■ ac-coupled output

Applications
■ 10 Gbits/s short, intermediate, and long-haul systems
■ SONET/SDH equipment
■ Datacom equipment
