Description
The OPF14XX series fiber optic
transmitters contain a high speed 840
nm GaAlAs LED. This LED in
conjunction with the package lensing is
designed to efficiently couple light into
optical fibers ranging in size from
50/125
µm
up to 200
µm
PCS. These
devices were designed to work
together with the Optek OPF24XX
series receivers to make-up a complete
high speed fiber optic link.

used at low current drive levels thus
decreasing the power consumption and

requirements of the receiver.
The high power (-16.5 dBm into 50/125
µm)
OPF1414 was designed for small
fiber applications or where there are
large fixed losses such as in systems
that contain star couplers or in line
connectors. The OPF1412 (-11.5 dBm
optical power) is ideal for 100/140
µm
fiber applications.
