CATV Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA)

Applications• SONET/SDH Systems• LANs and MANs
• Fiber Optic Sensing• CATV Networks• Laboratory

Description
CATV EDFAs inherit the reliable design of Amonics’s optical amplifier
technology. They exhibit high output power, high gain with very low noise. They
are thus ideal for CATV applications. CATV EDFAs are available in rackmountor module.
The turnkey rackmount CATV EDFAs provide microprocessor controlled alarms
and status indicators. An integrated RS232 computer interface enables easycontrol, diagnostic functions and data acquisition.
The CATV EDFA modules, operated on a single +5V power supply, are ideal
building blocks for OEM systems integration of a wide range of applications as
they come with the essential EDFA functions to serve various purposes and theinterfaces ready for system integration.

Key Features• CATV field-proven low noise figure• Small foot print• High output power• High gain
• Wide operation range• Highly reliable and durable

The product is manufactured under a HKQAA ISO 9001 certified quality management system
The ISO 9001:2008 certification applies to the Hong Kong production site onlySpecifications
