Physical Description

This node is the latest generation 1.2 GHz optical node in the GS7000 Node platform. It is based on the same
housing developed for the original GS7000 Node Platform. The node is designed to eliminate the need for
installing and maintaining the typical amplifier plug-in accessories such as pads, equalizers, trims and signal
directors. It also eliminated the need for external test points with circuitry that can remotely report and display
RF levels and RF spectrum via Cisco Intelligent Node software. It can eliminate manual tuning and the need
for skilled RF technicians to install and maintain the devices in the field. 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.
The base of the housing contains:
• an RF amplifier module
• AC power routing
The lid of the housing contains:
• a fiber management tray and track
• power supplies (one or two)
