The JDS Uniphase OAB1562+20FA0 is a benchtop Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) engineered for high-gain signal amplification across C-band, L-band, and C+L-band wavelengths in fiber optic communication systems. Operating from 1528 nm to 1610 nm, this unit amplifies single-channel and multichannel DWDM signals while maintaining low noise figure and high saturated output power across pre-amplifier, booster, and in-line configurations. The amplifier extends transmission distance and enhances signal integrity in demanding OEM manufacturing and R&D applications.
