Fiber Optic Red LEDFiber Optic Red LED IF E96EIF E96E
Description
The IF-E96E is a low-cost, high-speed, visible red LED housed in a “connector-less” style
plastic fiber optic package. The output spectrum is produced by an AlGaInP die which peaks
at 645 nm, one of the optical transmission windows of PMMA plastic optical fiber. The device
package features an internal micro-lens and a precision-molded PBT housing to maximize
optical coupling into standard 1000 µm core plastic fiber cable.
ApplicAtion HigHligHts
The perfomance/price ratio of the IF-E96E is particularly attractive for high volume design
applications. The visible red output has low attenuation in PMMA plastic fiber and aids in
troubleshooting installations. When used with an IF-D96 photologic detector the IF-E96E can
achieve data rates of 5 Mbps. Fast transition times and low attenuation make the IF-E96E an
excellent device selection for low cost analog and digital data link up to 75 meters.
