Product summary
The Maxcom MXA54 Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) has been designed for CATV, FTTH and HFC applications. The EDFA is suitable for long haul transmission networks or FTTH distribution networks. This optical amplifier is packaged in a 19” rack mount housing to provide a complete optical communications solution. Maxcom offers our MXA54 platform which can be ordered with 8, 16, 32 and 64 output ports and various output powers.
The output power available is from 14 dBm to 23 dBm or may be customized.
The MXA54 series is a high-power multi-port 1550nm EDFA with a gain spectrum band within 1540~1563nm. This series of EDFA offers a flexible and low-cost solution for a CATV system.
The MXA54 series EDFA’s are a high performance, multiple optical output EDFA’s designed for analog and digital CATV QAM signals. Maxcom’s 1550 optical amplifiers and EDFA’s adopt 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 an exceptionally reliable operation of the pump laser.
The LCD at the front panel offers equipment status and warning alarms. The laser will switch off automatically if optical power is lost, which offers security protection for the laser.
