9.1.6 Line Amplifier Node
A line amplifier node is a single ONS 15454 node that is used to amplify the optical signal in long spans.
The line amplifier node can be equipped with one of the following sets of cards:
•
•
•
Attenuators might also be required between each preamplifier and OPT-BST amplifier to match the
optical input power value and to maintain the amplifier gain tilt value.
Two OSCM cards are connected to the OPT-BST cards to multiplex the OSC signal with the pass-though
channels. If the node does not contain an OPT-BST card, OSC-CSM cards must be installed instead of
OSCM cards.
OPT-PRE, and OSCM cards.
