The Firecomms Analogue Receiver uses a highly reliable photodiode that produces a current proportional to the incident light coupled through the fibre. It is encapsulated in a clear plastic over-mold that forms an optical lens optimised for 1 mm Plastic Optical Fibre (POF) and housed in a UL 94 V-0 flame-retardant blue enclosure compatible with Versatile Link–style fibre plugs.
Designed for industrial environments, the receiver operates over a –40 °C to +85 °C temperature range, ensuring dependable performance for command, control, and sensing applications in electrically harsh conditions.
The device can function as a simple light sensor or be integrated into a communication system using an external transimpedance amplifier. Its frequency response supports data rates from DC up to 250 Mbps (125 MHz, minimum UI 4 ns).
