The IPG EDFA Pre-Amplifier C-Band is an optical amplifier designed for use in the C-band (1535 to 1570 nm) of the optical communication spectrum. It is part of the broader category of Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFAs), which are commonly used to compensate for signal loss in long-distance optical communication systems.
