The NC2000 Optical Node Platform is designed for various applications in either HFC or fiber deep architectures. With its bottom entry fiber port and three coaxial output ports, the node's modular design features high RF output levels and 2x2 segmentation, and can be wall or pedestal mounted as needed. Of particular note is the platform's use of Aurora's patented Digital Return technology with integrated SNMP monitoring and management features. Available options include alternate route switching, third output via plug-in splitter, and automatic gain control.

The NC2000 includes an RF module and three module slots that can be populated according to network architecture requirements — flexibility being a key feature of this node. Two of these slots are most commonly used for a forward receiver and a digital return module (single or "2-fer"), with the third slot commonly used for forward path redundancy or segmentation. The node can also be populated with other single-slot Aurora node modules such as an optical switch, EDFA, or a DWDM transponder, optimizing performance and reliability for a wide range of applications.

The platform can be equipped with one of three types of plug-in digital return path transceivers. Models DT4030N and DT4032E support a 5-42 or 5-45 MHz return passband and, when configured with user-selectable plug-in 2.125 Gbps SFP modules, support wavelengths of 1310nm, 1550nm, or any CWDM wavelength for transmission up to 40 km. Alternatively, a model DT4230N "2-fer" transceiver can accept dual RF inputs (for two independent segments) and a user-selectable SFP module to support any of the same wavelengths.

The NC2000 includes Aurora's integrated monitoring and management system, eliminating the need for costly status monitoring transponders and the allocation of forward and return bandwidth for the transponder's communicating frequencies.
