Boosters and Preamplifiers

MPBC’s C-band and L-band EDFA test instruments are designed for single or multi-channel use with low noise, optional gain flattened output, and high gain. They feature ACC, APC, and AGC control modes, providing both versatility and reliability.

The graphical user interface allows for streamlined control and monitoring of the amplifier through the RS232 port. To ensure safety compliance, each unit is equipped with a key switch and a remote interlock, adding an essential layer of safety.
