The Teleste OFA series is a family of 19″ high power optical amplifiers for 1550 nm fibre optic CATV links. These standalone optical fibre amplifiers are developed to meet the requirements for modern Hybrid Fibre Coax networks for the transmission of broadband CATV and video/data signals in FTTx networks.

OFA series of high power fibre amplifiers consist currently of four different base versions:

  • OFA731: 1, 2 or 4 output ports (+20 dBm)/1U x 19″
  • OFA733: 4, 8 or 16 output ports (+20 dBm)/1U x 19″
  • OFA737: 32 output ports (+20 dBm)/2U x 19″
  • OFA737W: 32 output ports (+20 dBm)/PON WDM in each output/2U x 19″
