COMMSCOPE
FA3500
Optical Amplifier
The COMMSCOPE FA3500 series is a family of high-output, extremely compact 1550 nm optical amplifiers. Output powers ranging from 14 to 21 dBm are available in a single-width module designed for use in the CH3000 3 RU chassis. Dual amplifier versions, which provide two optically independent amplifiers in a single-width module, are also avilable. These high performance amplifiers allow operators to use 1550 nm analog and DWDM transmitters to deliver high-quality broadcast and digital narrowcast content over significant transmission distances.
Features:
- High output power level, from 14 to 21 dBm
- Low noise figure
- Single and dual amplifier configurations
- Gain flattened versions available
- Optical path isolation (input and output)
- Output power alignment
- Constant current and constant gain modes of operation
- Front panel laser On / Off interlock switch
- Hot plug-in / out
- Local and remote status monitoring and control
- Occupies one full-depth slot
