Abstract
Disclosed is a submarine network device, comprising a fiber set, a pump laser set, an erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) set, a primary fiber coupler (CPL) set and a secondary CPL set, wherein the primary CPL set comprises N primary CPLs, the secondary CPL set comprises N secondary CPLs, with N being an integer greater than or equal to 3. The fiber set is configured to connect the pump laser set, the primary CPL set, the secondary CPL set and the EDFA set. An input port of each primary CPL in the primary CPL set is at least connected with a pump laser. An output port of each secondary CPL in the secondary CPL set is at least connected with an EDFA. Output ports of each primary CPL in the primary CPL set are respectively connected with two different secondary CPLs that are spaced by a secondary CPL, and input ports of each secondary CPL in the secondary CPL set are respectively connected with two different primary CPLs that are spaced by a primary CPL.
