In-Line EDFA
The EDFA is an in-line optical amplifier for long haul transmission networks. This optical amplifier is packaged in a 19” rack mount housing to provide a complete optical communications solution. Maxcom offers our MXA57 platform which may be ordered with various output powers between and mid stage access ports to add DCMs if needed.
- General Details
The Maxcom MX-A57 Series Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) has been designed for single wavelength applications in a Cable TV or telecommunications network. The EDFA is suitable for long haul transmission networks. This EDFA is designed as an In-Line Amplifier and is typically placed mid-way along a fiber route. Its purpose is to extend the 1550nm Signal transmission distance.
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 are available. Built for networks where reliability matters.
The MX-A57 series is an In-Line EDFA with a gain spectrum band within 1540~1562nm. It is designed for the application of single channel wavelength. The MX-A57 amplifier is featured with low NF and high-saturated output power. The MX-A57 is widely compatible with other EDFA’s and Transmitters in a telecommunication system.The Maxcom MX-A57 is equipped with a Mid-Stage Access (MSA) feature and produced specially for Dispersion Compensation over long distance links. The EDFA is equipped with a lower noise per-amplifier (PA) and booster amplifier (BA). There are access connectors between these two amplifiers and thus the dispersion compensation module (DCM) can be added externally as desired by the user.
Optional Daisy Chain Ports are available (4 Daisy Chain Ports @ +8 dBm each)
The output power is adjustable. Users can adjust the output power with ±0.2dB stepping up to -6 dB attenuation using the front panel button.
The MX-A57 works using APC control. Designed for excellent ventilation and heat-dissipation to 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. - Example Application
