The ARRIS FA3500 series is a family of high‐output, extremely compact 1550 nm optical amplifiers. Output powers ranging from 14 to 21 dBm are available in a single‐width module designed for use in the CH3000 3RU chassis. Dual amplifier versions, which provide two optically independent amplifiers in a single‐width module, are also available. These high performance amplifiers allow operators to use 1550 nm analog and DWDM transmitters to deliver high‐quality broadcast and digital narrowcast content over significant transmission distances.

Features:

• High output power level, from 14 to 21 dBm
• Low noise figure
• Single and dual amplifier configurations
• Gain flattened versions available
• Optical path isolation (input and output)
• Output power alignment
• Constant current and constant gain modes of operation
• Front panel laser On/Off interlock switch
• Hot plug‐in/out
• Local and remote status monitoring and control
• Occupies one full‐depth slot
