The SQOB1223 Optical Receiver Block is a single-mode fiber pigtailed module featuring a low-noise, impedance-matched broadband photodiode and RF amplification.
The device receives optical analog and/or digital signals for a range of video broadcast options, and delivers the corresponding RF electrical output. The wide bandwidth supports the delivery of up to 110 CATV analog channels or a combination of analog and digital channels (80/30 for example), including HDTV broadcast.
The device exhibits excellent distortion performance with values well above standards over the entire bandwidth and case temperature specifications (47 to 1218 MHz, - 30 to +85 °C).
Moreover, the proprietary impedance-match circuitry between the photodetector and RF amplification stages provides a very low noise performance value, typically less than 4.5 pA/√Hz.
The device can be used in both 1310 nm and 1550 nm applications being useful at different points of a given network.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid damage:
Fiberglass optical coupling
Maximum tensile strength = 5 N. Minimum bending radius = 35 mm.
Static Sensitivity
Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD control techniques should be used when handling these devices.
