1-44 Photonics equipment description
Midstage Line Amplifier 2 (MLA2 C-Band) circuit packs (NTK552FAE5

and NTK552FB)
Overview
Similar to MLA, the Midstage Line Amplifier 2 (MLA2 C-Band) circuit packs are
used for both edge and core applications.
This release of 6500 supports the following variants of the MLA2 circuit packs:
• Midstage Line Amplifier 2 (MLA2 C-Band) circuit pack (also referred to as
MLA2) (NTK552FAE5)
• Midstage Line Amplifier 2 (MLA2 C-Band) with variable optical attenuator
(VOA) circuit pack (also referred to as MLA2 w/VOA) (NTK552FB)
The MLA2 or MLA2 w/VOA circuit pack contains two erbium-doped fiber
amplifiers (EDFA); one in a pre-amplifier configuration (amplifying the signal
as it is entering the site from the line) and the other in a post-amplifier
configuration (amplifying the signal as it leaves the site onto the line), a single
OSC channel (1511 nm) splitter/coupler, and in case of the MLA2 w/VOA
variant (NTK552FB), a variable optical attenuator (VOA) at the output of each
amplifier (required for applications where attenuation is needed to meet link
budget constraints and pads are not desired). The primary difference
comparing to the MLA circuit pack is that the MLA2 or MLA2 w/VOA circuit
pack has a higher gain in both the pre and post amps than the MLA, gaining
more flexibility in link budgets, therefore MLA2 or MLA2 w/VOA circuit pack is
chosen over MLA circuit pack when spans have more losses (as directed by
link engineering). This MLA2 or MLA2 w/VOA circuit pack is equipped at a
6500 site where pre- and post-amplification (booster amplification) is required
per link engineering rules.
The 6500 amplifier circuit packs are low-noise, high input power modules with
fast transient control and remote software-provisionable gain control that
delivers enhanced reach capabilities to ensure each wavelength is amplified
equally.

Figure 1-14 on page 1-46 provides a functional block diagram of the MLA2
circuit pack.

Supported functionality
The MLA2 circuit packs (NTK552FAE5) and the MLA2 w/VOA circuit packs
(NTK552FB) provide the following functionality:
• wavelength range: C-band 1530.33 nm to 1565.09 nm
• 50 GHz and 100 GHz grid compliant
• integrated OSC add/drop filters - OSC add/drop ports
• external monitor at outputs of each amplifier line (Line A Mon and Line B
Mon)
• a Variable Optical Attenuator at the output of each amplifier (only
applicable to MLA2 w/VOA variant; NTK552FB)
• ALSO (Automatic Line Shut Off) functionality
• APR (Automatic Power Reduction) functionality
Note: As of Release 10.2, the MLA2 circuit packs (NTK552FAE5 and
NTK552FB variants) are supported in MuxAmp configurations. The
MuxAmp is used in some networks where lower power interfaces (like the
WL3n source) are used. This configuration requires that the Shelf
Processor disables the Automatic Power Reduction (APR), otherwise APR
may be triggered during normal operation. For this reason, the MLA2
circuit packs (NTK552FAE5 and NTK552FB variants) are reclassified as
Class 1M from IEC 60825-1. When APR is disabled, clamping is added
automatically to ensure safety. Circuit packs that were originally
manufactured with a Hazard Level 1 warning label can be re-labeled with
the Level 1M label kit (part number 415-2818-001). For information on how
to apply this label, see the section on observing product and personnel
safety guidelines in Installation - General Information, 323-1851-201.0.
• editing provisioned PEC between MLA C-Band, MLA2, MLA2 w/VOA and
MLA3 C-Band is supported (PEC editing is not supported between MLA
L-Band or MLA3 L-Band and MLA C-Band, MLA2, MLA2 w/VOA, and
MLA3 C-Band)
• MLA2/LIM C-Band or MLA2 w/VOA/LIM C-Band combination can be used
as an alternative to SLA/SLA pair at uncompensated line-amp sites, as
dictated by link-engineering
• gain clamp mode

Note 7
Note 1: The VOA facility type is only applicable to the MLA2 w/VOA circuit pack.
Note 2: The NMCMON facility type is not applicable to the MLA2 w/VOA circuit pack.
Note 3: SDMON OPT-OTS monitor type support requires the OPM embedded within an ADJ
provisioned OPM supported device with Equipment Profile set to FlexibleGrid.
Note 4: When the ORL reading is not valid because the power into the backward reflective monitor tap
is too low and cannot be measured accurately, the ORL PM reading(s) report “OOR”. The true ORL
reading(s) cannot be determined in this case.
Note 5: Though the ORL readings are against the VOA facility on the MLA2 w/VOA circuit pack (monitor
tap is after the VOA), the associated Automatic Power Reduction alarm is raised against the AMP facility
of the MLA2 w/VOA circuit pack.
Note 6: These monitor types do not apply to the MLA2 w/VOA circuit pack.
Note 7: CHMON OPT-OCH monitor type support requires the OPM (embedded within WSS w/OPM
circuit packs or on standalone 2-Port OPM and 2-Port OPM Flex C-Band circuit packs).

in slot 7 or 8 if one of these slots already contains an MLA2 or MLA2
w/VOA circuit pack
• In a 14-slot shelf type, when the MLA2 or MLA2 w/VOA circuit packs are
installed in slot 7 or 8, only Broadband circuit packs or Photonic circuit
packs can be provisioned in the other interface slots (slots 1 to 6 and 9
to14) as MSPP or PKT/OTN I/F interface circuit packs require a
cross-connect circuit pack. See Part 1 of 6500 Planning, NTRN10EY
(Shelf and equipment descriptions) for a full list of supported Broadband
and Photonic circuit packs.
• In a 6500-7 packet-optical shelf type, you cannot provision a
cross-connect circuit pack in slot 7 or 8 if one of these slots already

Note 1: The typical power consumption values are based on operation at an ambient temperature of
25 (+/-3oC) and voltage of 54 Vdc (+/-2.5 V) or in the full operational voltage range in the case of
AC-powered equipment. For practical purposes, the rounded typical power consumption of equipment
can be used as the equipment heat dissipation when calculating the facilities’ thermal loads (an
estimate of the long term heat release of the item in a system).
Note 2: The power budget values are based on the maximum power consumption in an ambient
temperature range from 5oC to 40oC at a voltage of 40 Vdc (+/-2.5 V) or in the full operational voltage
range in the case of AC-powered equipment. These rounded power values must be used in sizing
feeders and estimating theoretical maximum power draw.
