Twelve-channel 14-Mb/s/channel 1-km parallel optical-fiber transmission using a 1×12 low-drive-current 1.3-μm light-emitting diode (LED) linear array and an InGaAs p-i-n photodiode linear array, with the LED drive current as low as 12 mAp-p/channel, is discussed. No receiver sensitivity degradation has been observed under simultaneous 12-channel operation. The skew was less than 6 ns after transmission through a 1-km-long 12-channel optical-fiber cable, which was sufficiently small for 14-Mb/s parallel transmission
