New Hardware Features in Cisco 1x2 / Compact Shelf RPD Software 1.1
Cisco Remote-PHY Device
The Cisco Remote-PHY Device (RPD) resides inside the Cisco 1.2GHz GS7000 SHO Node (Cisco GS7000 node). The PID is GS7K-RPD-1X2.
For more information, see the What is Cisco Remote PHY document.
Cisco CCAP RF Line Card for Remote-PHY
The Cisco CCAP RF line card with no downstream and upstream PHY modules is connected with the Cisco 1.2GHz GS7000 SHO Node (Cisco GS7000 node). The PID of the line card is CBR-CCAP-LC-40G-R.
For more information, see the What is Cisco Remote PHY document.
Cisco 1.2GHz GS7000 SHO Node
The Cisco 1.2GHz GS7000 SHO Node (Cisco GS7000 node) acts as the edge QAM in the Cisco Remote-PHY architecture. It is located between the Cisco CMTS and the cable modem, and controlled by the Cisco CMTS.
For more information, see the Cisco 1.2 GHz GS7000 Node Installation and Operation Guide.
