Multichannel Erbium-doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) (PDF, 0.24 MB)
The WaveReady™ WRA-217 is dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical amplifier that is totally user configurable. This multichannel amplifier provides a simple and economical C-band optical amplification solution in a flexible, ready-to-use package. The WRA-217 amplifier includes an advanced gain control circuit, an efficient pump laser and a midstage variable attenuator.
The WRA-217 can be configured as a booster or as a pre/inline amplifier. The module works by default in constant signal gain mode, but can be configured to constant total output power mode. Its ease-of-use and performance make the WRA-217 the ideal solution for access and metro DWDM optical networks.
Front panel light emitting diodes (LEDs) indicate module status, while integrated electronics provide alarm and control functionality.
Deployed with a WaveReady™ communications module (COM200), these units can be managed and configured remotely through TL1, SNMP, or by using the WaveReady™ Node Manager. Local and remote management are done through an RS-232 or Ethernet port on the communications module.
The module is installed in a WaveReady 3500F or 3100 shelf mounted in 19- or 23-inch telecommunications racks.
