Request InfoNP Photonics Inc.The Scorpion Amplet MMP-HP7020 ultracompact, high-power optical amplifier module from NP Photonics offsets signal loss created by DWDM and optical conditioning devices. The high-gain, low-noise device features 16-dBm total output and provides up to 20 dB of gain across the C-band. It has a 90 x 70 x 12-mm MSA-compliant footprint. The amplifier module also generates less than 5.5 dB of noise. Embedded monitoring electronics and a midstage access option are included. The module can be customized to a two-port device with the same small footprint.See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics Spectra July 2023 IssueCombination DWDM and OTDRThe RXT-4113+ combination dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) and legacy optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) from VeEX Inc. is designed for contractors and technicians who require...Photonics.com 3/13/2024O-Band TransceiverThe QSFP28 from Approved Networks is an O-band transceiver for high-speed data transmission for distances up to 25 km.
