Abstract :
Integrated, TTL compatible, point-to-point fiber optic data links have been developed to accommodate arbitrary data formats and provide data transmission over 1-1000 m at 0-15 Mbit/s NRZ data rate with fiber/cable having a bandwidth ≥25 MHz.km. The compact, low profile (0.79 cm) printed circuit board mountable, transmit and receive modules operate from a single +5 V supply and provide automatic link monitoring to simplify interfacing. Single fiber connectors of the ferrule type are described. They achieve attenuation ≤ 2.0 dB and are cost effective and easily installable. The connectors are mechanically terminated to reinforced single fiber cable to withstand a pull force ≥ 150N and multiple makes and breaks.
