CH3000-EDFA | CH3000 Optical EDFA Amplifiers

The ARRIS FA3500 series is a family of high output, extremely compact 1550 nm optical amplifiers (EDFAs) in single-width modules with output powers ranging from 14 to 21 dBm. Dual amplifier versions, which provide two optically independent amplifiers in a single-width module, are also available. Their compact design dramatically reduces rack space requirements in the headend and hubs.

ARRIS also offers two models of high performance, multiport optical amplifiers: FA3530M and FA3533M. The high power output of these amplifiers is ideally suited for video distribution in RFoG and RFPON network architectures. In RFoG applications, the 8-port FA3530M EDFA at the headend amplifies and distributes the 1550 nm broadcast video signal to over 250 residential customers, over 8 typical RFoG network segments, each with 32 connected endpoint devices. Comparably, the 16-port FA3533M amplifies and distributes the 1550 nm broadcast signal to over 500 customers over 16 typical RFoG network segments, each with 32 connected endpoint devices.
