Overview
This section contains a physical and functional description of the 1.2 GHz GS7000
Node.
Physical Description
The 1.2 GHz GS7000 Node is the latest generation 1.2 GHz optical node platform
which uses the housing developed for the GS7000 Node Platform, but it has been
painted for improved thermal performance. 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.
Note: The 1.2 GHz GS7000 node is painted white, and the pictures in this document
which use unpainted housings are used as references.
The base of the housing contains:

an RF amplifier module

AC power routing

forward and reverse configuration modules (configuration will vary)
The lid of the housing contains:

a fiber management tray and track (included in all nodes)

optical receiver and transmitter modules (configuration will vary)

EDFA (erbium-doped fiber amplifier) modules and optical switch modules
(for hub node application)

power supplies (one or two)

a status monitor/local control module (optional)
Not every 1.2 GHz GS7000 Node contains all of these modules. The 1.2 GHz GS7000
Node is a versatile node that can be configured to meet various network
requirements.
