Extended temperature low noise cards
The Optelian suite of low-noise Optical Fiber Amplifier (OFA)
cards delivers efficient, cost-effective optical reach extension in
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.
Features
• Support up to 80 DWDM wavelengths
in the ITU C-band
• Fixed and variable gain models
• Mid-stage access for dispersion
compensation
• Fast transient suppression
• Extended temperature range
operation
Applications
• DWDM reach extension
• Metro, regional and longhaul networks
• ROADM and fixed OADM
• Mobile backhaul
• Outside plant
Optelian 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.
