The JDS Uniphase OAB1594-20FP0 is an erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) from the OAB Series, engineered for high-performance optical communication systems across the C+L-band. Operating between 1530–1560 nm, this unit supports pre-amplifier, booster, and in-line amplifier configurations. It accommodates single-channel and multichannel DWDM signals, delivering saturated output power to 20 dBm in booster mode while maintaining noise figures as low as 3.3 dB in pre-amplifier configurations. The compact, benchtop or rack-mountable design includes user-accessible optical interfaces and front-panel controls with an LCD display for real-time monitoring of input/output power and current settings.
