NC4000SG
1 GHz Fiber Node Platform
with Scalable OA4444G RF Amplifier
for HFC Applications |
The Aurora NC4000SG series outdoor optical outdoor platform is designed to
support a wide range of advanced architectures and is ideal for traditional HFC applications.
With an output level of up to 53 dBmV (at 1002 MHz) available on the four RF
output ports of the OA4444SG RF Output Amplifier, the NC4000SG can be used to extend the
reach of the coax distribution network. Furthermore, this flexible and rugged platform has
the capability of segmenting four downstream paths (each with its own receiver) and four
upstream paths using Aurora’s patented digital return solutions, including ITU CWDM and DWDM
(on the 100 GHz-spaced ITU Grid), further expanding the deployment of advanced ''bandwidth-hungry''
services (including 100 Mbps Ethernet for commercial services) in fiber poor areas while
reducing real estate requirements in the field.
The NC4000SG supports deployment of field-hardened EDFAs to cost effectively
extend fiber reach into new service areas. For optimal performance and reliability in a
wide range of applications, Aurora offers EDFAs at various power levels, and optical switches
are available for different routing applications.
Status monitoring capability is provided via an integrated network management
plug-in, eliminating the need for added-cost status monitoring transponders. An optional
narrowcast receiver is available for split-band applications.
