with Optolock® Termination
LVPECL I/O
FEATURES

DESCRIPTION

•

Simple low-cost termination solution for 2.2 mm
jacketed POF cables without a plug

•

Compatible with IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet over fiber
100Base-FX data communications standard

•

Compatible with Ethernet PHYs supporting 100BaseFX

•

Resonant Cavity LED (RCLED) at red 650 nm with
small emission aperture suitable for POF

Firecomms Industrial OptoLock® transceiver has a
small form factor housing which combines a pair of
Firecomms fiber optic components to provide
instant termination for bare Plastic Optical Fiber
(POF). As this POF port significantly simplifies the
optical connection, it reduces maintenance time for
industrial equipment.

•

RCLED reliability tested to over 400,000 hours
lifetime

•

Integrated CMOS driver IC for RCLED

•

High sensitivity CMOS receiver IC and PIN diode for
one-step light to digital conversion

•

Integrated optics to efficiently focus and direct light

•

-40° to +85°C operating range

•

RoHS compliant

FB1M2KPR Revision A

Firecomms assumes no responsibility for inaccuracies or omissions in the information contained in this document.
Specifications are subject to change without notice. No patent rights are granted to any of the circuits described herein.

This version of OptoLock
carries a pair of Fast
Ethernet Fiber Optic
Transceivers (FOTs)
designed to provide
Ethernet data links over POF in industrial
environments. The FOTs are compatible with
LVPECL which is the standard bus for a Fast
Ethernet physical layer interface IC supporting the
IEEE 100Base-FX standard. The interface circuit is
simple AC coupling to the PHY’s data pins. Signal
detect on the RX provides a link on/off diagnostic
for the PHY and can be used for power saving.
