Technical Specifications
Overview
High-Performance 10 Gb/s Single Drive Modulator
This 10 Gb/s single drive modulator is engineered for demanding long-reach and ultra-long-haul transmission applications. Featuring an integrated photodiode for precise bias and power control, it supports both C-band and L-band operations. Designed with a compact form factor, it is fully compatible with 300-pin MSA transponder footprints, making it an ideal choice for spectrally efficient DWDM transmission systems.
