The model CH3000 is Aurora Network’s advanced mid-plane, 3 RU
chassis design which offers the network operator a platform featuring maximum
flexibility, high packaging density and simplicity of operation. The CH3000
is ideal for all types of optical networks, single wavelength, CWDM or DWDM,
and for both analog and digital transmission techniques.
The CH3000 incorporates the unique combination of two patented
design features, the mid-plane platform concept and dynamic back plates on all
active modules. The mid-plane provides the DC power bus, the universal communications
bus (supporting local and remote SNMP management) and facilitates the installation of
modules from either the front or the rear of the chassis. Dynamic back plates
simplify pre-wiring of the chassis; module replacement can be accomplished from
the front of the chassis without disconnecting/reconnecting cables at the back
of the chassis. The combination of mid-plane platform design and the dynamic back
plate feature on all active modules makes the CH3000 the industry’s most flexible,
configurable and future-proof platform for traditional HFC, passive HFC and fiber
to the home (FTTH) networks.
The CH3000 also features a very high packaging density design
accommodating a wide variety of both active and passive modules. Modules, depending
on function performed, are either half platform depth or full platform depth and
single or dual width. The CH3000 accepts up to 32 half-depth passive modules or 14
full-depth active modules and a power supply module or configurations combining the
use of both full depth and half depth modules. The high packaging density and
configuration flexibility make the CH3000 ideal for both Headend and Hub applications
where rack space is at a premium.
The CH3000 is available in two configurations; Model CH3000C with top
and bottom decorative covers and Model CH3000N without the top and bottom decorative
covers. An optional fiber management adapter (CH3000U-FM-00) is also available for
mounting to the rear of the chassis for routing, organizing and protecting fiber optic
cabling.
