The OPT-AMP-17-C is a 17-dB gain, C-band, DWDM EDFA amplifier/preamplifier with OSC
add-and-drop capability. It supports 80 channels at 50-GHz channel spacing in the C-band (that is, the
1529 nm to 1562.5 nm wavelength range). When an ONS 15454 has an OPT-AMP-17-C installed, an
OSCM card is needed to process the OSC. You can install the OPT-AMP-17-C in Slots 1 to 6 and
12 to 17.
