Benefits
s
Easily board mounted
Requires no lead bending
No additional heat sinks required
Pin compatible with industry-standard, 14-pin laser
module
Highly efficient DFB-MQW laser structure allows
for lower threshold and drive currents, and reduced
power consumption
High output power allows for longer system spans,
more fiber splits, and greater tolerance of fiber and
connector quality
Internal isolator minimizes spurious noise
The low-profile A371-Type Analog Laser Module is ideally
suited for CATV applications, particularly in systems where
long spans and superior reliability are the critical consider-
ations.
