High Gain Dual (HGD) System Amplifier using gallium nitride (GaN) 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. This GaN amplifier carries on Cisco’s legacy of simple, reliable and fast
installation and setup. Furthermore, the Cisco GainMaker HGD System Amplifier can
scale to meet the needs of all HFC network architectures (one product for all amplifier
applications).

The Cisco GainMaker HGD System Amplifier provides two high-level forward RF outputs (main and auxiliary), with
the option to create a third RF output by using an optional plug-in auxiliary path signal director. All 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.
