2RU Raman Co-pumps

MPBC's 2RU Raman Co-Pump sources are designed as a cost-effective solution for extending link reach by providing distributed Raman post-amplification out into the span. They are equipped with an OSC signal transmitter for monitoring fiber integrity in the link.

Additionally, they feature coupling optics to seamlessly merge the outgoing C-band channels with the OSC Tx signal before injecting them into the span, alongside the Raman pump power.

  • NEBS Level 3 and GR-3108 Class 1 compliant (NEBS L3 kit required)
  • Fiber integrity monitor with automatic safety shut-down and restart
  • Secure Web based GUI
  • Integrated Ethernet port 
  • On-board micro-SD card for simple provisioning
  • SNMP interface
  • RADIUS Authentication Capability

2RU Super Raman Co-Pump
(2RU-N2-SRCP)

MPBC’s 2RU Super Raman co-pumps provide up to 3 W of output power at 1276 nm, along with low seed power laser. Designed to accommodate MPBC's patented pumping technique, the 2RU-SRCP provides third-order distributed Raman post-amplification out in the span for transmitted data channels in the red spectrum of the C-band (1542 to 1568 nm).

  • Patented 3rd order Raman pumping

2RU Multiplexed Laser Diode Co-Pump
(2RU-MLD + MLDS)

The MLD and MLDS co-pump sources extend link reach by providing post-amplification within the transmission span for data channels across the entire C-band.  The 2RU-MLD is a first order Raman co-pump and the 2RU-MLDS is a supplementary 1 W unit to the 2RU-MLD. When combined, the 2RU-MLD + 2RU-MLDS duo generates high power at  14xx-nm allowing for both first- and second-order Raman co-pumping, resulting in a total combined output power of 2 W.
