It's relatively trivial to replace the optic of a PIC that has a soldered 9-pin optic.

In the case of my PE-1OC12-SON-MMF I used a 9-pin optic with the following specs:

  • Data Rate: 622Mb/s
  • Distance: Intermediate
  • Wavelength: 1310nm
  • LD/PD Type: FP-LD/PIN-TIA
  • Connector: SC/PC
  • Package Type: 1 X 9 Pin
  • Temperature: 0-70
  • Voltage: +5v
  • Data/SD Interface: Data-PECL, SD-PECL
  • Fiber Type: SM

The typenumber of the replacement optic was 9STR-12-33111152.

Here are some pictures of the process:
