GainMaker 1 GHz High Output 4-Port Node with
42/54 MHz Split

The Cisco GainMaker

High Output 4-Port Node with 42/54 MHz Split is designed to

serve as an integral part of today’s network architectures. The node combines the
proven Cisco

technologies of both the Cisco GainMaker RF Amplifier and Cisco

Prisma

optical components. Featuring four high-level RF output ports and a

segmentable reverse path, it is an ideal platform for delivering video (digital and
analog) as well as high-speed data services over advanced hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC)
networks.

Reverse traffic can be segmented and routed to Fabry-Perot (FP), distributed feedback (DFB), coarse wavelength-

division multiplexing (CWDM), dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM), or 2:1 baseband digital reverse

(bdr) I reverse transmitters. The Cisco GainMaker High Output 4-Port Node (Figure 1) is also available with an

optional custom status-monitoring Hybrid Management System (HMS) transponder for use with all HMS-compliant

monitoring and control element management systems. Onboard temperature, RF switch position (wink switch),

power supply condition, as well as other features and parameters can be monitored through this module.
