Multichannel Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) (PDF, 0.42 MB)
The WaveReady WRA-219 is dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical amplifier that is completely user-configurable. This multichannel amplifier provides a simple, economical C-band optical amplification solution in a flexible, ready-to-use package. The WRA-219 amplifier includes an advanced gain control circuit, an efficient pump laser, and a mid-stage variable attenuator.
The WRA-219 can be configured as a booster or as a pre/inline amplifier. The module works by default in constant signal gain mode, but it can be configured to constant total output power mode. Its ease-of-use and performance make the WRA-219 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 offer remote management and configuration through TL1, SNMP, or using the WaveReady Node Manager. Local and remote management are performed through an RS-232 or Ethernet port on the communications module.
The module is installed in a WaveReady 3500F or 3100 (shelf-mounted, 19- or 23-inch telecommunications racks).
