This unit
The JDSU MAP-200 mEDFA-A1 is an Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier module engineered for integration into the MAP-200 platform. It amplifies optical signals in the C-band and L-band, delivering configurable gain, low noise performance, and saturated output power up to 21 dBm. The module supports pre-amplifier, booster, in-line, and DWDM multichannel configurations, making it suitable for both single-channel SONET/SDH systems and dense wavelength division multiplexing transmission.
Auto gain and power control options streamline operation across diverse test and deployment scenarios. The mEDFA-A1 integrates with LXI-compliant MAP-200 mainframes via Ethernet connectivity and IVI drivers, enabling remote automation and front-panel control. Built-in monitoring and alarms provide real-time signal integrity oversight.
Compliance certifications include CE, CSA/UL/IEC61010-1, IEC 60825-1 (2002/2014) Class 3B, and 21 CFR 1040.1, ensuring safe operation in laboratory, manufacturing, and field environments.

JDSU mEDFA-A1 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the JDSU mEDFA-A1. Calibration covers gain at rated input power across the specified wavelength range, noise figure at rated gain setting, output power accuracy, gain flatness across the C-band or specified wavelength range, and polarization-dependent gain (PDG) where applicable. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common JDSU mEDFA-A1 faults: pump laser diode degradation (gain drop, reduced output power), TEC failure causing thermal drift, optical isolator degradation, power supply failure. The most common failure on any EDFA is pump laser diode degradation. Secondary faults include TEC failure causing thermal runaway, optical isolator degradation, and power supply failure.
