The JDSU MAP-200 mEDFA-A1 is an Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier module engineered for integration into the MAP-200 platform. It amplifies optical signals in the C-band and L-band, delivering configurable gain, low noise performance, and saturated output power up to 21 dBm. The module supports pre-amplifier, booster, in-line, and DWDM multichannel configurations, making it suitable for both single-channel SONET/SDH systems and dense wavelength division multiplexing transmission. Auto gain and power control options streamline operation across diverse test and deployment scenarios. The mEDFA-A1 integrates with LXI-compliant MAP-200 mainframes via Ethernet connectivity and IVI drivers, enabling remote automation and front-panel control. Built-in monitoring and alarms provide real-time signal integrity oversight. Compliance certifications include CE, CSA/UL/IEC61010-1, IEC 60825-1 (2002/2014) Class 3B, and 21 CFR 1040.1, ensuring safe operation in laboratory, manufacturing, and field environments.
