1.0 PRODUCT SUMMARY
The OTEB-CL-B series high-power, single-mode EDFA is characterized by low noise and high
linearity. It offers a flexible, low-cost solution for large area distribution. The OTEB-CL-B series
incorporates advanced design techniques for heat dissipation, which assures reliability and
stable operation of the PUMP laser(s). RS-232 and RJ-45 on the front panel offer serial com-
munication and SNMP network interface. The LCD displays all the parameters of the unit and
alarms. The laser will be automatically switched off if the optical input power is too low.
Total Output Power Capability (1RU & 2RU Models)
OTEB-CL-B: 1RU chassis, total output power >1000mW, offers up to 16 optical outputs.
OTEB-CL-B: 2RU chassis, total output power >5000mW, offers up to 64 optical outputs.
2.0 INSTALLATION
2.1
Unpacking
Inspect the shipping boxes for any obvious damage.
Unpack the unit.
Inspect the appearance of the unit for any shipping damage.
Document and inform the shipping company, if any damage is found.
Save the shipping boxes and their inserts for future shipment in case the product needs
repair.
NOTE: When shipping the EDFA back to the manufacturer, the manufacturer does not
accept responsibility for the damage caused by non-use the original packaging.
2.2 EDFA Mounting and Power Connection
1. Place the unit into a 19-inch wide rack or cabinet. Make sure to leave a 1.75-inch (1RU)
space above and below the unit for cooling.
2. The
OTEB-CL-B series 1550nm EDFA operates at temperatures between 0°C to +50°C
(+32°F to +122°F). We recommend +25°C (+77°F) environment temperature. Humidity
is 95% maximum (non-condensing conditions). We recommend operating in a dust-free
environment.
3. The equipment can be powered by AC or DC. Power supply requirements:
AC input
94-245V
AC
, 50-60Hz
DC input
36-60V
DC
, floating
Power consumption (Max)
50W (1RU), 150W (2RU)
The EDFA must have good grounding with grounding resistance <4Ω.
2.3 Optical Connection
Clean all fiber patch cords before connecting to the EDFA. Optical Input is nominally -7dBm to
+7dBm. In some cases it is usable from -10dBm to +10dBm, but an alarm may be indicated.
ALWAYS be SURE that all power is removed from the EDFA before optical connectors
are mated or unmated. Eye damage and EDFA damage may result if the EDFA is
powered while connectors are cleaned or mated/unmated.
