Pluggable EDFA Amplifiers

Jabil Photonics' 10 gigabit small form-factor (XFP) erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) is a pluggable EDFA product designed for single-channel or full C-band 40/80/96 channels dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) amplification in telecom, Datacom, or cable access TV (CATV) applications. It is designed to be compatible with XFP multi-source agreement (MSA) (INF-8077i) on mechanical and electrical interface, which allow it to be plug-and-play in XFP cage. The XFP EDFA supports the working mode of automatic gain control (AGC) and can monitor the input and output optical power in real time. It supports real-time input/output loss of signal (LOS) alarm, pump protection, and online firmware upgrade.
