Overview 
This section contains a brief physical and functional description of the Model GS7000 
Node. 
For complete information about the Model GS7000 Node, refer to Model GS7000 
GainMaker Scaleable 4-Port Node Installation and Operation Guide
, part number 4013584. 
 
Physical Description 
The Model GS7000 Node is the latest generation 1 GHz optical node platform which 
uses a completely new housing designed for optimal heat dissipation.  The housing 
has a hinged lid to allow access to the internal electrical and optical components.  
The housing also has provisions for strand, pedestal, or wall mounting. 
The base of the housing contains: 
 
an RF amplifier module 
 
AC power routing 
 
forward and reverse configuration modules (configuration will vary) 
The lid of the housing contains: 
 
a fiber management tray and track (included in all nodes) 
 
optical receiver and transmitter modules (configuration will vary) 
 
EDFA (erbium-doped fiber amplifier) modules and optical switch modules 
(for hub node application) 
 
power supplies (one or two) 
 
a status monitor/local control module (optional) 
Not every Model GS7000 Node will contain all of these modules.  The Model GS7000 
Node is a versatile node that can be configured to meet network requirements. 
The following illustration shows the external housing of the Model GS7000 Node.
