Cisco Prisma 1550 nm Strand-Mounted Optical Amplifier (SMOA) Data Sheet

 

Designed for “Fiber Deeper” architectures, the Prisma



 1550 

nm Strand Mounted Optical Amplifier (SMOA) is a high-
powered EDFA (erbium doped fiber amplifier) that extends the 
reach and performance of networks without the need for a 
hub or remote terminal placement. 
 
The SMOA enables a broadcast optical amplifier to be located 
on a strand or in an underground enclosure, thus eliminating 
the need for costly environmental cabinets.  Encased in a 
rugged enclosure and optimized to operate from -40

°C to 

+65

°C, the SMOA features optional redundant power supplies 

and a modular design that allows easy field upgrades of the 
amplifier module.  The SMOA is available in three output 
levels, +17 dBm, +20 dBm, and +24 dBm.
