Introduction
Description
The OptoStar II 1550 nm optical amplifier module uses a standard 19-in OptoStar
II chassis. The flexibility of the platform is greatly improved by the fact that a
single chassis can hold both optical amplifier modules and other OptoStar II
modules. 14 optical amplifier modules can be placed in one standard 3 RU
OptoStar II chassis. You can select single or double-width optical amplifiers
module with various output powers or port counts. Paired with the 1550 nm
optical transmitter module, this module can be used for multi-channel
distribution and long-distance relay transmission network structures.
Features
• A variety of optical output power and port options provide flexible adaptation.
• Effective suppression of equipment radiation, providing high gain, high power
and low noise
• Single-stage or double-stage 980nm pump laser with very low power
consumption
• Low noise figure
• LED on the front panel indicates the working status of the module
• Support pump switching for easy onsite maintenance
• Intelligent Communications Interface Module (ICIM) provides various
configuration and control options
- Local monitoring and control on the ICIM LCD screen
- Local monitoring and control with ICIM Mini-USB interface connecting to the
console on PC
- Remote status monitoring (SNMP) with ICIM RJ-45 interface
• Firmware is upgradeable
