AON2100 Optical Node

AON2100 Series 2 port Node is part of ACT Deep Fiber solution, which helps operators expanding bandwidth of their existing HFC network while minimizing capital investment. The AON2100 Cabinet optical node is designed with two high outputs up to 112dBuV per port. Automatic Power Control (APC) maintains output level within a wide input range from -8 to +3dBm input.

• 870MHz/1002MHz RF Spectrum

• Compact housing and low power consumption

• 1 or 2 High output power (112dBuV) to eliminate last amplifier

• 2 forward receiver modules for redundancy and 1 return path transmitter

• 1 forward receiver and 2 return path segmentable transmitters

• High performance and cost effective deep fibre solution for FTTX, MDU, SMB applications

• FP or DFB return path transmitter suits set-top box systems where pay-per-view and other various return path information sent via RF

• Local test points and LED indicators on optical receivers, return transmitters

• Built-in fiber management tray to simplify installation and maintenance

• JXP pads for attenuation and equalization

• 10 Amperes continuous power passing

• Optional HMS transponders to support EMS management
