F-tone NETWORKS's Super EDFAs are network-ready managed 1RU rack units designed to support long links which require amplification.
The product can be operated as a fully independent Network Element, or integrated into an existing NE, using a comprehensive and user-friendly GUI or SNMP/RS232 communications, and is an excellent solution for immediate deployment of EDFA-based systems.
The unit includes a built-in option for remote management and monitoring of the amplifier via an optical supervisory channel (OSC) which carries out-of-band (1510nm/1610nm) management data between the in-line amplifiers and the amplifiers located at the terminal stations. Thus, all Super Inline Amplifiers along the link are connected to one another via the OSC carrying standard Ethernet, and can be accessed and managed from any of the terminal or in-line locations. As with all Super products, the unit includes an SNMP agent and GUI-based web server enabling easy management and monitoring by accessing its IP address from any of the Ethernet ports located on the Super products along the link.
Features
- 1RU - small footprint unit
- Support for two EDFA modules in one bidirectional unit – optional
- Optical supervisory overlay for remote management
- Optional integration of DCM
- Plug-and-play into all SNMP v2C and v3 supporting systems
- Web server-based GUI

Applications
- Medium to long links (>200 km), half or full duplex communication
- Extending fiber link range for: Datacom, enterprise, storage area networks (SAN), disaster recovery sites, defense and utility applications
- Cost-effective and small foot print alternative to O-E-O repeaters
- High loss links where Raman amplification is impractical
- Low latency links (reduced O-E-O, use of DCMs)
