Outdoor (nEDFA)

Data Sheet

The QAMnet nEDFA series of Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFA) are sturdy outdoors fiber amplifiers, designed for system integrators in HFC, FTTH, PON and deep-fiber systems.

Product Overview

The QAMnet nEDFA series of Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFA) are sturdy outdoor fiber amplifiers, designed for system integrators in HFC, FTTH, PON and deep-fiber systems. By combining 980 nm/1480 nm pump laser modules and high efficiency Erbium doped fiber, the nEDFA amplifiers deliver output up to +24 dBm, while maintaining low Noise Figure (NF). Designed to operate over a wide temperature range, the nEDFAs are easy to use, reliable and cost-effective solutions.

Depending on pump lasers configuration, the nEDFA amplifier produces optical output levels from +15 dBm to +24 dBm.
