Cisco GainMaker Optoelectronic Node 1GHz with 65 86 MHz Split Data Sheet
Description
The GainMaker
®
Node is designed to serve as the
cornerstone of today’s emerging fiber deeper network
architectures. The GainMaker Node combines the superior
proven technologies of both the GainMaker RF Amplifier and
Prisma
architectures. The GainMaker Node combines the superior
proven technologies of both the GainMaker RF Amplifier and
Prisma
®
Optical components. Available with three high level
RF output ports and RF redundancy, it is the ideal platform for
delivering video (digital and analog) as well as high-speed
data services over advanced hybrid fiber/coax (HFC)
networks. With its modular design of fiber receiver, reverse
fiber transmitter and RF amplifier electronics, the GainMaker
Node station can provide an extensive complement of
functions required by advanced networks. Reverse traffic can
be combined and routed to FP, DFB, or CWDM reverse
transmitters.
This version of the GainMaker Node is designed with RF redundancy to accommodate forward path and return
path redundancy via coax to protect against fiber cuts in the network. This feature is ideal for networks with fiber
limitations that still want the protection of redundancy.
Installation of the GainMaker Node is quick and easy. The fiber receiver is delivered with preconnectorized fiber
terminations. The optional preconnectorized cable stub is the ideal method for connecting the GainMaker Node
to the fiber network (see cable stubs data sheet). External termination connectors are also available for central
strength member and LXE style fiber optic cables. The GainMaker Node includes a 4-fiber handling tray for these
cables.
