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 1954
DMC consists of a reliable III-V APD
photodetector integrated in an
hermetic singlemode pigtailed coaxial
module with connector.
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.

Applications
Used in telecommunications and
datacommunication systems, from
medium to high speed for Long-Reach
and Ultra-Long-Reach applications,
Alcatel 1954 DMC modules offer a
wide case operating temperature
range from - 40 to + 85 °C.
Part of the Alcatel 1900 DMC family,
the Alcatel 1954 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
