The post-amplifier module is directly fed by the pre-amplifier module and outputs the high optical power level required to feed the Passive Optical Network (PON). There are two main types of post- amplifiers double-wide and single-wide.

The double-wide post-amplifier module is normally used in a temperature controlled Headend or CO environment. The double-wide post-amplifier module is available in a variety of output port counts (8 to 24 ports). These modules are configured with high density LC/APC optical connectors.

The single-wide post-amplifier module is temperature hardened for use in applications having less temperature control than a headend or CO environment. The single-wide post-amplifier modules have 4 output ports at 17 18.5 and 19.5 dBm per port and are configured with SC/APC optical connectors.
