The Model GS7000 4-Port Node is our latest generation 1 GHz optical
node platform and utilizes a completely new housing designed for
optimal heat dissipation. This platform allows independent
segmentation and redundancy for both the forward and reverse paths in
a reliable, cost-effective package.
The forward path of the Model GS7000 Node can be deployed with a single
broadcast 1310/1550 nm optical receiver distributing common services to either
four output ports (all high level) or six output ports (two high level and four lower
level). The forward path can also be segmented by using two independent
optical receivers that each feed half of the node’s output ports (left/right
segmentation). Forward path optical redundancy is supported via the use of
optional redundant optical receivers. The type of forward path segmentation
and/or redundancy is determined by the type of Forward Configuration Module
installed in the node.
The Model GS7000 Node’s reverse path is equally flexible. Reverse traffic can be segmented or combined and routed to a
maximum of 4 FP, DFB, CWDM, or DWDM reverse optical transmitters, or to advanced Baseband Digital Reverse optical
transmitters as part of the bdr system. Reverse path optical redundancy is supported via the use of optional redundant optical
transmitters. The type of reverse path segmentation and/or redundancy is determined by the type of Reverse Configuration
Module installed in the node. A Reverse Input Port is also provided for high frequency (5 – 210 MHz) reverse signal injection.
All optical transmitters and optical receivers used in the GS7000 have new high-profile module covers that include both a self-
contained fiber pigtail storage area and an integrated pull ring for easier module installation and removal. Additionally, the
GS7000 optical receiver is a new low-current design that dissipates less power and incorporates a two-state interstage RF
attenuator switch for performance optimization.
