SYSTEM HARDWARE
The InterReach Fusion Wideband system consists of three modular components:
19" rack-mountable Main Hub
connects to up to four Expansion Hubs
(except for the One Port Main Hub configuration
that supports 1 Expansion Hub)
conve
rts RF signals to optical IF on
the downlink; optical IF-to-RF on the uplink
microproc
essor controlled (for alarms, monitoring, and control)
auto-configurab
le bands
simplex interface to RF source
periodically polls a
ll downstream RAUs for system status, and automatically reports any
fault or warning conditions.
19” rack mountable Expansion Hub
connects to up to eight Remote Access Units
optical signal conversion to
electrical on the downlink; electrical to optical on the uplink
microproc
essor controlled (for alarms, monitoring, and control)
software c
onfigurable band (based on commands from the Main Hub)
supplies DC power to RAUs ove
r CATV cable.
Remote Access Uni
t (RAU)
converts IF signals to RF on the d
ownlink; RF-to-IF on the uplink
microproc
essor controlled (for alarms, monitoring, and control)
multi-band protocol independent, frequency specific units.
The min
imum configuration of a Fusion Wideband system is o
ne Main Hub, one Expansion Hub,
and one RAU (1-1-1). The maximum configuration of a system is one Main Hub, four Expansion
Hubs, and 32 RAUs (1-4-32). Multiple systems can be combined to provide larger configurations.
NOTE: The Fusion Wideband One Port Main Hub (PN: FSN-W1-MH-2-1P, FSN-W1-MH-3-1P,
FSN-W2-MH-3-1P, FSN-W3-MH-1P, FSN-W4-MH-1P, and FSN-W5-MH-1P) configuration is a
cost-reduced version of the Fusion Wideband Main Hub and supports only one Expansion Hub
(up to 8 RAUs).
CAUTION! The Fusion Wideband One Port Main Hub is “software locked” to 1 port 2 fiber ports. Additional
po
rts ar
e disabled internally. Do not attempt to remove the front panel fiber port plate, as doing
so voids the product warranty.
