The 1310nm - 1610nm wavelength range, wide dynamic range and high speed monitoring (<10ms for 8 channels) enable the devices to be used in a wide variety of applications. The package size is a minute 27 x 36 x 10mm and together with low cost and the option of ribbon fiber make it particularly suitable for metro systems. IPM-8 and PM-8 will enable total cost reduction and simplified system design. They have been developed in response to customer demands for complete modules with system friendly interfaces such as I2C, RS-232 and SPI.

Santec
is widely known as a manufacturer of photodetector components for
power monitoring in DWDM systems. IPM-8 and PM-8 are two complete
sub-module solutions which combine the electronics and communication
interface with the photodetectors. Both products are 8 channel devices;
the IPM-8 has an integrated tap coupler for in-line power monitoring,
the PM-8 is a terminated device.
