Description
The AddOn QSFP28 EDFA Booster Amplifier (ADD-QSFP28-EDFA-BOOST-17DB) is a high-performance, hot-pluggable optical amplifier designed to enhance the reach and performance of C-band DWDM links. Offering a nominal gain of +17 dB and adjustable output power up to 17 dBm, this compact amplifier ensures optimal signal strength over long-distance fiber deployments.
Engineered to SFF-8661 and QSFP28 standards, this module features Automatic Gain Control (AGC) as the default mode and can be reconfigured via CLI or AddOn’s coding tools for customized operation. With low power consumption (2.5 W), Duplex LC/UPC connectors, and commercial temperature support (0 °C to 70 °C), it’s ideal for service providers, data centers, and enterprises seeking reliable optical signal boosting in DWDM systems.
Built to Telcordia GR-1312-CORE and RoHS standards, the ADD-QSFP28-EDFA-BOOST-17DB combines advanced amplification technology with AddOn’s proven quality and interoperability — delivering dependable, scalable optical infrastructure performance.
