*When using 50/125 µm multimode fiber, subtract 3 dB from the optical power budget.

†

Maximum transmission distance is limited by fiber bandwidth.

††

Maximum transmission distance is based on attenuation of 0.5 dB/km plus a 5 dB buffer for connector and splice losses.

Notes:

• For conformal coated models, replace the first letter F in the model number with the letter C. The conformal coated version of FT8301AMST, for example, is
CT8301AMST.

• For models with higher optical power budgets, contact the factory.
