OEO optical amplifier is a kind of equipment used for optical signal gain in optical fiber link, which makes the attenuation of optical signal be compensated in the transmission process, so as to increase the non relay transmission distance in the link and realize the long-distance transmission of optical fiber link. It can effectively save fiber resources and networking costs, so it is widely used in various long-distance network transmission.


OEO optical amplifier, also known as OEO repeater / converter, is a protocol and rate transparent optical fiber converter which uses OEO (optical electrical optical) technology to regenerate, amplify and reshape signals in the optical transmission process, and is also the earliest optical fiber amplifier.


The function of OEO optical amplifier

OEO optical amplifier can replace optical power amplifier, effectively solve the problem that the optical fiber transmission distance exceeds the transmission distance ability of equipment, and can be used for the conversion of wavelength and mode in the optical fiber link. It can realize seamless integration of different types of optical fiber, and cooperate with other network equipment (such as DWDM, OADM, DCM, EDFA, etc.) to form a complete set of optical network transmission system.


Functional characteristics of OEO optical amplifier

Flexible and transparent access to multiple rate services: provide multiple rate service interfaces, support Ethernet, PDH, SDH, ATM and other services.

Relay type: it can realize wavelength conversion, mode conversion, optical power shaping and optical power amplification

Achievable relay transmission distance: 80km and above

Support network management function: support web, SNMP and console multiple network management modes
