Frequently Asked Questions
What type of modules are used for both the forward and return signal paths?
For instance, BGE847BO/BGO847 and BGE67BO are offered for these purposes.
How can user monitor an optical input signal in a redundant network setup?
By using modules with external biasing of the pin-diode (via pin 4), allowing the amplifier part to be switched on or off based on signal presence.
What is the electrical impedance for these wideband hybrid modules?
All Philips wideband hybrid modules have a 75 Ω input and output impedance.
What are the mechanical outlines for connectorized optical receivers?
Connectorized units are encapsulated in the SOT115X (FC0) or SOT115Y (SC0) outline.
