Description
Designed to provide high optical
performance for ITU-T G.652 standard
optical fiber and ITU-T G.653 shifted
dispersion fiber, the Alcatel 1914 DMC
consists of a reliable III-V APD
photodetector integrated in an hermetic
coaxial module lens cap TO CAN.
The entire Alcatel 1900 DMC family
includes field-proven, reliable, InGaAsP
PIN photodetector with or without silicon
preamplifier or InGaAsP Avalanche
Photodetector (APD), in an hermetically
sealed coaxial package.
Features

Applications
Used in telecommunications and
datacommunication systems, from
medium to high speed for Long-Reach
and Ultra-Long-Reach applications,
Alcatel 1914 DMC modules offer a
wide case operating temperature
range from - 40 to + 85 °C.
Part of the Alcatel 1900 DMC family,
the Alcatel 1914 DMC module is
particularly suited for all types of Long-
Haul, Metro and Access optical links
such as :
. Fiber In The Loop (FTTB, FTTC,
FTTH...)
. Digital transport links
. Private optical networks
. Intra and interoffice links
