Minimum set of line amplifiers

The FSP 3000 offers a minimal set of amplifiers with variable
and switchable gain range EDFAs and hybrid Raman/EDFA
amplifiers.

These amplifiers can be equipped in ROADM nodes as

well as in-line amplification (ILA) nodes, which minimizes
sparing. An amplified link may consist of EDFA spans,
Raman + EDFA spans or any combination. The FSP 3000
enables ultra-compact nodes. For example, you can
implement an ILA configuration with two hybrid Raman/
EDFA amplifiers in a single 2RU shelf, minimizing cost and
power.
