Description

Extended Temperature Low Noise Cards 

The DZS suite of low-noise Optical Fiber Amplifier (OFA) cards delivers efficient, cost-effective optical reach extension in the metro, regional, and long-haul applications. Supporting up to 80 ITU-T DWDM wavelengths, they provide a flexible solution for a range of DWDM applications, including fixed and reconfigurable OADM (ROADM) architectures.

DZS OFAs are gain-flattened, low-noise, C-band erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) cards with fast transient suppression. Single-stage amplifiers have a fixed flat gain of 15, 20, or 25 dB, and a maximum output power of 17 or 20 dBm. They can be used in pre-, line-, or post-amplifier applications.

Dual-stage amplifiers support up to 10 dB of mid-stage access loss for dispersion compensation, with a user-provisionable flat gain range between 20 and 30 dB, and a maximum output power of either 17 or 20 dBm.

 

Applications:

  • DWDM reach extension
  • Metro, regional and long-haul networks
  • ROADM and fixed OADM
  • Mobile backhaul
  • Outside plant
