1550nm EDFA for Telecommunications

The Maxcom MX-A41 Series Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) has been designed for single wavelength applications in a telecommunications network. The EDFA is suitable for long haul transmission networks. This EDFA is designed as a booster amplifier and is typically placed on the transmitter side of a network. Its purpose is to extend the transmission distance of the transmitter, system ranges of over 200 km are possible when using this EDFA.

This Maxcom optical amplifier is packaged in a 19”, 1 RU rack mount housing. Units come standard with dual reliable hot swapable power supplies. AC or -48 VDC power is available. Built for networks where reliability matters.

The MX-A41 series is a booster EDFA with a gain spectrum band within 1529~1562nm. It is designed for the application of single channel wavelength. The MX-A41 booster amplifier is featured with low NF and high-saturated output power. The MX-A41 is commonly applied and is widely compatible with other EDFA’s and Transmitters in a telecommunication system operating in the 1529~1562nm range.

The MX-A41 series EDFA’s are high performance and designed for telecommunication data signals. Maxcom’s 1550 optical amplifiers incorporate world class pump lasers and American OFS erbium-doped optical fiber components. Excellent APC, ACC and ATC control, superb design in the ventilation and heat-dissipation ensure long life and exceptionally reliable operation of the pump laser.

The LCD at the front panel offers equipment status and warning alarms. Maxcom EDFA’s are also equipped with SNMP and Web access and come standard with monitoring ports. The laser will switch to a stand-by position automatically if optical power is lost, which offers protection for the laser.
