L160 Raman Amplier
The L160 Blade is a carrier-grade (C + L) backward Raman opcal amplier blade designed for high OSNR
performance and for the specic challenges of long-reach opcal network spans. Currently, the L160 Blade can
be deployed with the L100 Blade. The operaon of the L160 Blade is fully integrated with the L100 Blade, and
aer it is installed, the L160 Blade funcons as part of that NE. Hardware support for (C + L) amplicaon is built
directly into the blade. Currently, C-Band pumps support C-Band applicaons and conguraons. In-service L-
Band amplicaon (C + L) can be added on the same blade in a future release.
The number of L160 Raman blades that can be installed depends upon the ROADM conguraon.
Note: L100 Issue 14, FC95453R11-I14, and later blade must be used with L160 Raman blade.
