NC4000SG Series Scalable Node Platform for HFC Applications

Click photo to enlarge

The Aurora NC4000SG series outdoor optical 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. 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.
