Description 

 

Lindsay Broadband LB5155D series of rack mount Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFA) are 

high  linearity,  low  noise,  Optical  Amplifiers  with  single  Optical  output  and  Output  power  from 

14dBm  to  24dBm,  in  1dBm  steps.  The  LB5155D  series  provide  a  thermoelectric  cooled  DFB 

laser with optical isolation on the input and output for stable, low noise operation. Auto output 

power  stability  control  (APC)  and  auto  temperature  control  (ATC)  are  standard  features.  The 

LCD  front  panel  display  is  used  to  provide  monitoring  and  associated  alarms  for  all  vital 

parameters.  If  the  EDFA  operating  parameters  deviate  from  the  permissible  range  set  by  the 

software,  the  micro-processor  will  alarm  the  user  through  the  LCD  display  and  the  warning 

LED’s  will  start  flickering  RED  with  buzzer  sound.  The  LB5155D  is  equipped  with  RJ45  and 

RS232 communication interfaces for system network management. Powering is 110V – 240VAC 

or 40 – 72VDC.
