Description
The LSAX82X is a compact
analog coaxial pigtailed laser
transmitter, operating in the
1300 nm wavelength region and
coupling light to single mode
fiber.
The device features a high
reliability SMQW laser diode and
rear facet monitor photodiode.
These are electrically connected
to four pins in an industry-
standard configuration.
Environmental performance is
designed to be compatible with
the requirements of Bellcore’s
TA-NWT-000983 document.
Applications
• CATV/CCTV
• Return Path Links
• LANS/WANS
If the specific arrangement or
performance you require is not
listed, please contact your local
representative, as our highly
flexible design and manufacturing
processes allow both physical and
electro-optical customization to
meet your needs.
Laser Safety Warning
This device is a Class IIIb (3b) Laser Product. It may emit invisible laser radiation if operated with the fiber pigtail disconnected. To avoid
possible eye damage do not look into an unconnected fiber pigtail during laser operation. Do not exceed specified operating limits.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Absolute limiting (maximum) ratings mean that no catastrophic damage will occur if the product is subjected to these ratings for short periods,
provided that each limiting parameter is in isolation and all other parameters have values within the performance specification. It should not be
assumed that limiting values of more than one parameter can be applied to the product at the same time.
