for NC4000 Fiber Node Platforms

The Aurora FA4512, FA4514, and FA4517 are high-output, extremely compact 1550 nm optical amplifiers (with nominal output power levels of 12, 14, and 17 dBm, respectively). These high performance amplifiers allow operators to use 1550 nm analog and DWDM transmitters to deliver high-quality broadcast and digital narrowcast content over significant transmission distances.

These optical amplifiers enhance the deployment of traditional HFC, passive HFC and fiber to the home (FTTH) networks. The units are designed as plug- in modules for Aurora's NC4000 series Fiber Node Platforms, including the VH4000 ''Virtual Hub,'' and, when used in the latter, provide a practical alternative to OTN-style cabinets. Aurora Networks supplies the module either with the NC4000 as a fully configured and tested node or as a module for customers desiring to upgrade to digital return and/ or Ethernet transport capability.
