Blonder Tongue LightHouse Series BTEA-CO-Bxx-n16, 1RU 1550nm EDFA's for FTTH Applications
The Blonder Tongue BTEA-CO-Bxx-n16 comes in 1, 2, or 4 output 1550nm Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier and is a 1RU rack mount EDFA package containing up to four (4) identical 16dBm optical outputs. It is engineered to meet the requirements for a high-density solution for the large-scale distribution of broadband CATV video and data signals to video overlay receivers in a FTTH/FTTP PON system.
This rugged, low-profile, high-efficiency EDFA design utilizes powerful and reliable pump amplifiers in a two-stage design with interstage isolators. The unit's wide optical input range accepts a single optical input (0dBm to +6dBm) and provides a total composite/saturated output power of up to 200mW/23dBm (4 output model). As a matter of convenience and safety, this high output is further limited by dividing the unit's power into individual optical output ports via an internal low loss coupler, which ultimately provides 1, 2, or 4 optical output ports of +16dBm/40mW each.
The BTEA-CO-Bxx-n16 in 1, 2, or 4 output Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier is part of Blonder Tongue's LightHouse Series of FTTH products.
