The JDS Uniphase OAB 1552+20FP is a C-band Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) booster designed for optical signal amplification across 1528–1563 nm. It delivers 20 dBm minimum saturated output power with 37 dB small signal gain and 5 dB maximum noise figure, making it suitable for long-haul and metro network applications. The amplifier uses a 980 nm pump laser and operates from a single-channel input.
