Cisco Compact EGC Segmentable Node A90200
The Cisco Compact EGC Segmentable Node A90200 is specifically designed to meet the
growing need for network segmentation. The node provides advanced features and
benefits, helps operators reduce operating costs by streamlining node segmentation
deployments and configuration and is well suited for migration toward FTTC/FTTB
architectures.
The node has an excellent RF performance that allows it to operate in redundant and full
segmented mode in the forward and reverse path. It can be configured electronically for rapid initial
setup or for adjustments that are needed as network requirements shift. All settings can be done
without service interruption, an especially important capability in networks that deliver real-time
interactive services such as Voice over IP (VoIP) and high-speed data transmission. The node
’s
interface allows easy configuration through a handheld programmer terminal or by connection to a
standard PC. This interface allows the settings to be stored and reapplied to streamline
configuration.
The node provides flexible options because of its large optical input range and high RF output level.
Thus, it can work with a large variety of reverse transmitters to support a variety of applications
within the network.
The number of plug-ins has been minimized to help operators keep inventory and costs down. The
full-range electronic attenuators and equalizers offer improved versatility and make it possible to
achieve the same adjustment range as with conventional plug-ins or potentiometer solutions. A
plug-in diplexer filter is used to determine the forward/reverse band split.
To meet future demands for more bandwidth, the node offers an electronic 862 MHz to 1 GHz field-
programmable bandwidth extension, and reverse path that can be upgraded to 200 MHz.
The Cisco Compact EGC Segmentable Node A90200 can be configured with a Cisco status
monitoring transponder (SMC or HMS) to enable remote monitoring of critical node parameters and
remote control of the built-in 3-state reverse switch. All node settings are remotely addressable via
the ROSA
Element Management System to help reduce truck rolls and associated cost.
