Compact QSFP Form EDFA from China Suppliers - 18dBm Output, Low Noise, Customizable Factory Solutions
Product description
SFP-style EDFA products feature compact size, integrated functionality, and low power consumption, suitable for 5G networks, high-speed data centers, etc.:
Compact Dimensions
Standard SFP form factor, small size. Easily inserts into device SFP slots without extra space, convenient for use in space-limited equipment/systems (e.g., data center switches), improving device integration and space utilization.
Hot-Pluggable Design
Supports hot-plug functionality, allowing insertion/removal during device operation without powering down. Facilitates installation, replacement, and maintenance, improving operational convenience and system flexibility.
Flexible Control Interface
Typically features an I2C control interface for EDFA control and monitoring. Enables real-time monitoring of parameters like optical power and gain, and uploads monitoring data for visualization, easing management and configuration.
Multiple Operating Modes
Supports APC, ACC, and other modes (APC is usually default). Effectively ensures stable EDFA operation. Users can select suitable modes based on needs for different application scenarios.
Low Power Consumption
Uses uncooled 980nm pump laser modules with very low heat generation. Typically operates on a single +3.3V power supply with low power consumption. Helps reduce device energy consumption and thermal load, aligning with green initiatives.
Adjustable Output Power
High saturated output power up to 16dBm, which is adjustable to meet different optical signal amplification power requirements.
Broad Wavelength Range
Signal wavelength range typically covers the C-band (e.g., 1527.99nm - 1568.36nm), meeting various C-band optical communication applications like signal amplification in fiber optic systems.
Good Gain Performance
Gain typically around 15dB with good flatness (usually 1dB - 2dB). Provides relatively uniform signal amplification across a broad wavelength range, ensuring consistency and stability.
