Cliff Electronics has extended its range of optical jack sockets, used in communication systems where fibre-optic connectivity provides increased immunity to noise.
The jacks meet the industry standard footprint and can be used in applications such as digital optical data links, sound cards, set top boxes, televisions and audio equipment including amplifiers, DVD players and MDs. The new range includes optical transmitters and receivers, featuring high-speed signal transmission (up to 16 Mbps) and low power consumption.
The FCR684214T and FCR684215T (optical transmitters) feature TTL input compatibility and a 3 to 5 V power source for applications including DVD players, TVs, sound cards and set-top boxes. The FCR684214R and FCR684215R (optical receivers) feature high PD sensitivity for red light and low current dissipation, suiting amplifiers, audio equipment and digital optical data links.
The FCR684216T and FCR684216R are similar to the above models but with additional mounting options for panel installation. The FCR684217T, FCR684217R, FCR684218T and FCR684218R feature self-tapping holes for panel mounting.
