EDR 85 System Overview 
The Cisco EDR 85 System supports digital transmission of reverse path signals over 
a fiber optic link from the node to the hub or headend. The system includes a 
selection of transmitter modules, of which the Prisma II EDR Transmitter is one 
example, and a companion Cisco Prisma EDR PRX85 Receiver module. 
In its included Integrated Transmitter Host Module, the Prisma II EDR Transmitter 
has a double-wide high density (HD) form factor and can mount directly into two 
adjacent application slots in a Prisma II XD chassis. The EDR 85 System receiver 
module has a single-wide HD form factor and can mount directly into a single 
application slot in a Prisma II XD chassis. An accessory Prisma II Host Module is 
available to adapt a pair of transmitter or receiver modules for mounting in a 
standard (full-height) Prisma II chassis. 
Both transmitter and receiver modules use Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) 
optical pluggable modules (OPMs) for enhanced flexibility. The EDR 85 System 
operates over the 5-85 MHz range and supports all standard reverse frequency 
bandwidths at 40, 42, 55, 65, and 85 MHz. 
Note: Although the receiver module supports both 1:1 and 2:1 multiplexing 
configurations, the Prisma II EDR Transmitter supports 2:1 multiplexing only. 
Accordingly, the instructions in this document are confined to 2:1 multiplexing 
configurations. 
 
Features 
The EDR 85 2:1 Multiplexing System has the following features: 
 
High-performance Digital Return technology 
12-bit encoding enables transmission of analog video in the reverse band 
High-order digital modulation signals (for example, 16 QAM, 64 QAM, and 
256 QAM) 
 
Multiple operating modes in the EDR receiver support EDR transmitter and 
legacy integrated bdr node transmitter 
 
Optical pluggable modules (OPMs) enable flexible inventory management 
 
Long-reach transmission capabilities eliminate the need for optical amplifiers, 
reducing cost and space requirements 
 
Capable of sending 2:1 multiplexed 5-85 MHz reverse signals over a single fiber 
Compatible with Cisco's 40 wavelength Dense Wave Division Multiplexing 
(DWDM) system
