About This Part
The Alcatel-Lucent OAC2 (Optical Amplifier Card) is a critical component designed for deployment within the Alcatel-Lucent 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS) platform. This card functions as an optical amplifier, primarily utilizing Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) technology to boost the strength of optical signals in Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) networks. Its core purpose is to compensate for signal attenuation over long distances, ensuring the integrity and reliability of high-capacity data transmission. In telecom and data centre environments, the OAC2 is essential for extending the reach of optical links, supporting applications such as long-haul transport, metro networks, and data centre interconnects. By providing necessary gain and maintaining a low noise figure, it enables service providers and enterprises to deploy robust and scalable optical infrastructure. While specific performance metrics vary by configuration, the OAC2 is engineered to deliver consistent optical amplification, critical for maintaining signal quality across complex network topologies. Revo Distribution Limited offers used and refurbished Alcatel-Lucent OAC2 cards, providing a cost-effective solution for B2B clients seeking to expand, maintain, or upgrade their existing 1830 PSS deployments. Our rigorously tested and certified equipment ensures reliable performance, helping businesses extend the operational lifespan of their network infrastructure without the significant capital expenditure of new hardware. By sourcing from Revo, clients gain access to essential telecom and data centre parts, supporting both legacy systems and current network demands with proven, sustainable solutions.
