NE3142 Series Optical Node
Customized Specifications Available!!!
The NE3142 Series addresses the need for a compact, cost-effective node with forward and return path flexibility. Redundancy and segmentation options, offered in both forward and return paths, enable the NE3142 Series to economically deliver today¡¦s broadcast services as well as to support additional narrowcast services such as VOD, data or telephony.This easy-to-configure node includes an ergonomic, rugged, die-cast aluminum housing. The housing supports an easy-to-use fiber management system, dual AC input buses (for redundant network powering), optional backup power pack, RF output module and motherboard. The RF module supports four high-level outputs, power-passing capability, and four-way segmentation in both the forward and return paths. A return mute switch in each RF return path enables the user to individually isolate the source of ingress. The manual return mute switches allow for local control whereas the automatic switches allow for remote control via an optional transponder. The NE3142 Series¡¦s flexible design therefore facilitates a wide variety of configurations to support expanding interactive services. Reconfiguration of either the forward or return path can be made easily in the field in a matter of minutes, thereby allowing efficient network segmentation as traffic demands increase.
