Description 
The Prisma II
 optical network is an advanced transmission system designed to 
optimize network architectures and increase reliability, scalability, and cost 
effectiveness.  The Prisma II Forward Optical Receivers are available in two 
form-factors; the original full-height Single Forward Receiver and the new half-
height High Density Forward Receiver.  Both are rated to 1 GHz to complement 
our full line of 1 GHz HFC products. 
 
The High Density Forward Receiver (HDRx-F) module is primarily used to 
receive signals fed from a narrowcast (QAM) optical transmitter.  Two HDRx-F 
modules can be vertically stacked in an associated Host Module which occupies 
a single wide slot in the Prisma II chassis.  Up to 26 HDRX-F modules can 
operate in a standard 6RU chassis*.  The ability to mix high density receivers 
with other Prisma II modules in the same chassis greatly enhances the flexibility 
of the platform.   
 
The Full Height Single Forward Receiver module may be used to receive signals 
from either a broadcast optical transmitter or a narrowcast (QAM) optical 
transmitter.  It contains a single forward optical receiver with one RF output port 
and occupies a single wide slot in the Prisma II chassis. 
 
 
*The 56 connector version of the chassis is required to utilize all 4 receivers in one slot.
