EDFA with built in PON WDM ports

The MXA5 series is a low noise, high performance, high power multi-port optical amplifier. It amplifies wavelengths between 1540~1563nm. Each output port for the optical amplifier has built-in high-performance CWDM PON port to conveniently connect with an OLT. Each of the output optical ports will multiplex wavelengths from the PON ports supporting G-PON, XGS-PON, NG-PON* (25G or 50G) *25G/50G PON wavelengths of 1286, 1342 & 1358nm for (ITU-T G.9804.3 Amd.1 for wavelength Option 3) from an external OLT, eliminating the need for external muxes. Models are also available with an optional port to pass 1610nm RFoG wavelengths.

The MXA5 Series has an extremely low noise figure. The unit adopts twin-stage amplification, the pre-amplifier adopts a low noise EDFA, and the output cascade adopts high power EYDFA technology. When the input optical power PIN is 0dBm, the noise figure of the unit is: Typ ≤4.5dB, Max ≤5.0dB unlike other manufactures which need higher optical power input to maintain lower noise figures.

The MXA5 Series optical amplifier incorporates world class pump lasers and American made OFS erbium-doped optical fiber. Superb APC, ACC, and ATC control, coupled with excellent design in the ventilation and heat-dissipation ensure a long life and exceptionally reliable operation of the pump laser. RS232 and RJ45 offer serial communication and SNMP network management ports.

The MXA5 Series LCD located on the front panel offers access to all equipment indexes and warning alarms.  A WEB GUI interface is also available for operators preferring remote access and visibility.

Maxcom EDFA’s offer a flexible wide range optical input between -5 to +10 dBm.

For safety and protection of the laser components, the laser will automatically switch off if input optical power is interrupted.

The MXA5 Series offers carrier-class reliability and network security management, high quality, superb reliability, and excellent cost performance are ideal for system integrators and system operators.

The MXA5 Series optical amplifiers are available with output power of +15 to +23 dBm per output port. Standard units come in 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 port configurations. Units come with xPON ports to match the number of output ports. Optional daisy chain ports are also available providing for simple scalability as your network grows.

The MXA5 Series is also available with a built in 2×1 optical switch with auto detection and switching when two optical inputs are used in cases where fiber route redundancy is critical.

Fiber connector types may be customized for operator requirements using SC/APC, SC/UPC, LC/APC, and LC/UPC

All MXA5 Series EDFA’s come equipped with Dual Hot Swapable AC or DC power supplies.
