The JDS Uniphase OAB1590-20FP0 is an L-band Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) engineered to amplify optical signals across the 1565–1610 nm wavelength range. Optimized for the 1550 nm and 1590 nm test bands, this amplifier delivers high gain and saturated output power while maintaining low noise figure. The OAB1590-20FP0 supports multiple deployment configurations—pre-amplifier, booster, in-line, and mid-span access—making it suitable for DWDM systems, optical communication infrastructure, component manufacturing, and R&D applications.
