LEDs and Photodetectors for Unterminated Fiber
Industrial Fiber Optics produces low-cost, easy-to-use, connector-less LEDs and photodetectors for use with plastic optical fiber (POF) cable. The product family contains 17 different devices. LEDs range from low-cost infrared (IR) devices for short distances to very fast 650 nm red LEDs for 100 Mb 75-meter applications. Our photodetectors include photodiode, phototransistor, photodarlington and multiple photologic devices with various data rate capabilities.
