We demonstrate multicore EDFA with simultaneous 7 core pump by utilizing small diameter fibre bundle fan in/out. We confirm the characteristics with the gain > 15 dB, the noise figure < 7 dB, and the crosstalk < −40 dB in C band. Seven 10 Gbit/s NRZ data are simultaneously amplified in each core with the power penalty within 0.5 dB.
