The JDS Uniphase MAP200-MEDFA-A15580-MFA is an Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) module engineered for C-band DWDM booster amplification in optical communication systems. Operating at 1558 nm, this module delivers saturated output power of 21 dBm and integrates into the MAP-200 platform—a modular, LXI Class C–compliant test system designed for laboratory and manufacturing environments. The module features FC/APC connectors (MFA type) and accommodates input signals from –18 dBm to +3 dBm with measured small-signal gain and noise figure specifications at –4 dBm input power. Gain flatness is held better than 1.4 dB across the EDFA series. The MAP-200 platform supports hot-swapping, multiple mainframe configurations (3-slot benchtop or 8-slot 19-inch rack, all 3 RU), and provides USB, GPIB, and Ethernet connectivity. IVI drivers enable integration with LabVIEW, Visual C++, Visual Basic, and LabWindows environments.
