Features & benefits

• Provides extended reach capabilities for full channel capacity of the system, including:
  
  • 1600 km reach on 20 dB segments
  • 1375 km reach on 25 dB segments
  • Support for segment losses of up to 35 dB using either mid-stage loss borrowing or Raman amplification to address a range of network-specific design requirements
• Provides choice of constant or variable-gain modules to meet network requirements
• Features variable-gain OA, which compensates for span loss, to mitigate the effects of aging spans
• Suppresses transients to protect services and receivers, and simplifies channel count changes with SmartGain dynamic gain control
• Adjusts the amplifier automatically, reducing Operating Expenses (OPEX) when waves are added
• Connects to external test equipment through DWDM monitoring ports
