The DWDM Booster Amplifier (EWDM-OA=) integrates a 10-GB connection over 1-GB CWDM networks without sacrificing the reach of these networks, and compensates for the power budget gap between the 10-GB DWDM pluggable transceivers and the low speed 1-GB GBIC/SFP. Dual fiber is used for both the network and the transciever connections.

The booster amplifier boosts the signal power and therefore the maximum distance for the 10 GB Ethernet connection.

The booster amplifier modules are equipped with a monitor port that allows you to monitor amplifier conditions and adjust settings.
