Physical Description
This node is the latest generation 1.2 GHz optical node in the GS7000 Node platform. It is based on the same housing developed for the original GS7000 Node Platform. The node is designed to eliminate the need for installing and maintaining the typical amplifier plug-in accessories such as pads, equalizers, trims and signal directors. It also eliminated the need for external test points with circuitry that can remotely report and display RF levels and RF spectrum via Cisco Intelligent Node software. It can eliminate manual tuning and the need for skilled RF technicians to install and maintain the devices in the field. The housing has a hinged lid to allow access to the internal electrical and optical components. The housing also has provisions for strand, pedestal, or wall mounting.
The base of the housing contains:
-
an RF amplifier module
-
AC power routing
The lid of the housing contains:
-
a fiber management tray and track
-
power supplies (one or two)
-
Intelligent Remote PHY Device
