The WaveReady™ 3000 series BrightAmp configurable single-channel optical amplifier is designed to provide simple and economical C-band optical amplification for single-channel applications, in a flexible and ready-to-use package. This erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) is network-ready and includes a switch on the front panel that enables field personnel to install and configure the module in seconds as a booster or inline/pre-amplifier.
Front panel LEDs indicate module status, while integrated electronics provide simple alarm and control functionality. An RS-232 interface and Ethernet port (through a communications module) allow for remote management.
A flexible package design allows the module to be deployed in either the WaveReady 3500 or 3100 systems which mount onto 19- or 23-inch telecommunications racks.
