C-Band Boosters & Preamplifiers
High power boosters of up to 30 dBm output power and low noise preamps with input power as low as -50 dBm provides the flexibility to meet a wide array of customer requirements.
Available with AC power supply for the 1RU format, and with RS232 and USB communication ports in the 2RU formats.
Power Amplifiers
These one- to four-pump boosters are ideally suited to calibration of instruments at high-power level and linearity checks.
Features
- Up to 30 dBm saturated output power
- Input & output isolators
- Low noise figure
- Front panel readout and control on benchtop units

Gain-Flattened Amplifiers
Flattened up to 40 nm, these units offer high output power in the C band for DWDM applications, with the same user-friendly features of their non-flattened cousins.
Features
- Better than 0.8 dB typical flatness over bandwidth with DWDM signals
- Up to 28 dBm saturated output power
- Input & output isolators
- Low noise figure
