Cisco 1 GHz GainStar Line Extender with 85/105 
MHz Split 
The Cisco
®
 1 GHz GainStar Line Extender (GSLE) is specifically designed for use in 
hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) networks. It provides excellent forward and reverse path 
performance combined with high reliability and a user-friendly layout. All new Cisco 
GainStar products share common plug-in accessories and perform to 1 GHz in the 
forward path. The Cisco 1 GHz GSLE provides a single high-level output port or two 
lower-level RF output ports in a strand-mount configuration (Figure 1 and Figure 2). 
The Cisco 1 GHz GSLE uses GaAsFET technology optimized for superior distortion performance. 
Features
