Description:

The GFT102 provides a seamless bridge between electronic and photonic systems by converting fast electrical pulses into precision optical triggers. Housed in a compact and rugged module, it is specifically designed for long-distance signal transmission and high-voltage isolation where traditional copper cabling would fail due to electromagnetic interference or common-mode voltage issues.

When paired with an optical-to-electrical converter, the GFT102 allows researchers to transmit critical timing signals over distances up to 1 km with extreme fidelity. The module supports high-frequency operation up to 1 MHz and maintains an ultra-low jitter of less than 10 ps RMS, ensuring that your synchronization remains rock-solid even in demanding measurement environments.

Engineered for versatility, the device accepts input levels from 2.5 V up to 10 V and features a rapid rise time of less than 1 ns. It is available with multiple wavelength options, including 1310 nm and 850 nm, and various connector types like FC, SC, ST, or LC to integrate directly into your existing fiber optic infrastructure.

This plug-and-play module is an essential tool for protecting sensitive diagnostics and coordinating pulses across large-scale experimental setups without sacrificing timing accuracy.
