(POF). It operates over the industrial temperature

rangeof‐40⁰Cto+85⁰C.



The 10 MBd transmitter produces higher optical

power for the same input current relative to the

standard Firecomms 10 MBd

device (FT10MHNR).

This allows a lower overall current consumption
