EDFA-4424A CATV 1550nm EDFA Amplifier, 24dBm total power (250mW), SNMP managed, 1RU 19" rack mountable

Product description
The EDFA-4400A (1RU) series is a high power multi-port optical amplifier operating within 1540~1563nm wavelengths. It is mainly designed for CATV applications, offering a flexible and low-cost solution for large area CATV coverage (medium-sized urban areas). EDFA-4400A optical amplifier is using a top-class pump laser. With perfect APC, ACC and ATC controls, reliable heat control, ventilation and efficient heat-dissipation design, the EDFA unit has all systems in place for an extended MTBF of the laser pump. The CATV amplifier model has an extremely low noise figure by using a two-stage optical amplification: the pre-amplifier has a low noise EDFA followed by a high power EYDFA. For example, if input optical power Pin=0dBm, the noise figure of unit is usually ≤4.5dB and not exceeding max value of ≤5.5dB.

The LCD front panel provides a quick review of all equipment settings and monitors any potential alarms. Laser of the EDFA will switch off automatically if input optical power is missing, offering protection of the laser pump and overall extended life of the equipment. Management is available through local RS-232 console and RJ-45 Ethernet based SNMP.

The EDFA-4400A has an optional two-way optical input (with a built-in 2x1 optical switch), for redundant network operation. Considering all reliability and MTBF figures, the EDFA-4400A series are an excellent choice for CATV operators. Maximum output power of the EDFA-4400A series is 5000mW (37dBm) and the total number of ports that can be offered into the 1RU profile of the unit is 32. Model 4424A-1x016 has maximum power of 24dBm with 16 optical output ports.
