GainMaker 1 GHz High Output 4-Port Node with

40/52 MHz Split
The Cisco GainMaker High Output 4-Port Node with 40/52 MHz Split is designed to
serve as an integral part of todays network architectures. The node combines the
proven Cisco technologies of both the Cisco GainMaker RF Amplifier and Cisco
Prisma optical components. Featuring four high-level RF output ports and a
segmentable reverse path, it is an ideal platform for delivering video (digital and
analog) as well as high-speed data services over advanced hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC)
networks.
Reverse traffic can be segmented and routed to Fabry-Perot (FP), distributed feedback (DFB), coarse wavelength-
division multiplexing (CWDM), dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM), or 2:1 baseband digital reverse
(bdr) I reverse transmitters. The Cisco GainMaker High Output 4-Port Node (Figure 1) is also available with an
optional custom status-monitoring Hybrid Management System (HMS) transponder for use with all HMS-compliant
monitoring and control element management systems. Onboard temperature, RF switch position (wink switch),
power supply condition, as well as other features and parameters can be monitored through this module.

2. Minimum receiver RF output level for the stated transmitter percent OMI per channel, with receiver optical input power of
0 dBm. To determine RF output levels at other optical input power levels, add (or subtract) 2 dB in RF level for each 1 dB
increase (or decrease) in receiver optical input power.

Notes:
1. Reference output tilt and internal tilt are both Linear tilt.
2. Forward internal tilt specified is primarily due to an on-board equalizer and a factory configured linear interstage equalizer
(ISEQ).
3. The forward reference output tilt specified is achieved via field installation of appropriate input EQ, in conjunction with the
internal tilt of the launch amplifier and the tilt associated with the optical link (transmitter/receiver combination).
4. Station performance can be determined by combining optic performance and launch amplifier performance. Stated distortion
performance is for launch amplifier section operated at reference output levels and tilt.
5. Reverse Operational Gain is measured from the reverse RF input port to the RF input to the reverse transmitter and includes
optical interface board losses.
6. Reverse Gain and Noise Figure for launch amplifier with 0 dB reverse input pad and 0 dB output pad.
7. Digital refers to 550 to 1002 MHz loading with QAM carriers at -6 dB relative to analog video carrier levels.
8. X-mod (@ 15.75 kHz) specified using 100% synchronous modulation and frequency selective measurement device.
9. CIN is a broadband noise-like distortion product associated with QAM loading.
