EDFA-1550S 1550nm Standard Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier
1U rack-mountable 1550nm Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) with 980nm/1480nm pump laser technology. Features low noise figure (<5.0 dB), high output power up to 27 dBm, and optional SNMP network management. Ideal for CATV, telecom, and long-distance fiber optic transmission systems.
Category: CATV Optical Equipment

Key Features
- High performance – optimized pump power distribution (980nm pre-stage, 1480nm post-stage) minimizes noise figure for superior CNR.
- Reliable design – built-in high-performance switching power supply with 85–265V AC or DC -48V optional; automatic temperature control and heat sink for pump laser protection.
- Intelligent monitoring – microprocessor monitors laser status with VFD/LCD display of operating parameters; automatic laser shutdown with alarm for parameter deviations.
- Flexible configuration – saturated output power from 13 dBm to 27 dBm, with 1 to 8 output ports (customizable).
- Network management – RJ45 interface for SNMP management (optional), compatible with SCTE HMS standards.
