gallium nitride (GaN) High Gain Balanced Triple (HGBT) System Amplifier is an ideal
product for deep fiber applications. Why? Because with higher output levels, up to 58
dBmV, and significantly improved linearity and performance, longer reach needs can
be met. The GaN amplifier carries on Cisco’s legacy of simple, reliable and fast
installation and setup. Furthermore, the Cisco GaN HGBT System Amplifier can scale
to meet the needs of all HFC network architecture (one product for all amplifier
applications).

The amplifier provides three high-level forward RF outputs - main and auxiliary. All Cisco GainMaker products
share common plug-in accessories and perform to 1 GHz in the forward path. The system amplifiers in this portfolio
provide multiple forward RF output ports while the line extenders provide a single forward RF output port.
Cisco GainMaker 1 GHz system amplifier modules have increased gain to allow drop in for 750-MHz spacing and
are mechanically compatible with previous Cisco GainMaker System Amplifier II, II+, and III housing bases, often
allowing upgrade to higher bandwidth with no respacing or resplicing. The DC power supply is modular and located
in an updated housing lid for easy access. All Cisco GainMaker 1 GHz system amplifier modules are factory
configured with reverse amplifier, diplex filters, thermal compensation circuit, forward interstage pads, and
equalizer to promote optimal performance. Optional single-pilot automatic gain control (AGC) configurations are
also available.
