Figure 1. GainMaker High Output Node
The GainMaker High Output Node accommodates a second forward receiver with an RF switch to provide forward
path optical redundancy. Reverse traffic can be combined and routed to distributed feedback (DFB), coarse
wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM), dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM), or Enhanced Digital
Reverse (EDR) transmitters. The High Gain Balanced Triple (HGBT) launch amplifier module provides three high-
level outputs. Additionally, the node is available with an optional DOCSIS status monitoring transponder. On-board
temperature, automatic gain control (AGC) levels, RF switch position, power supply condition, as well as other
features and parameters can be monitored through this transponder.
