Network amplification · technical draft

Compact network erbium optical amplifiers

Network-ready booster and preamplifier configurations in a compact rack format.

  • Seven amplifier configurations
  • 10-21 dBm listed output limits
  • 1U network format

Select a single-channel or DWDM gain-flat configuration. The enclosure can combine amplification functions, but each option retains its own input-power range, output limit and noise figure.

Configuration options

Each row is a separate configuration. Limits from different rows must not be combined.

Conditions and configuration notes

  • A value in dBm describes optical power; a value in dB describes gain, loss or an optical budget. A link budget is not a distance in kilometres.
  • Performance depends on channel loading, fibre losses and the selected operating point; family limits do not automatically apply together.

Applications to discuss

  • Optical network integration
  • Fibre-link engineering
