Cisco Compact Forward Fiber Deep Node A90098
The Cisco Compact Forward Fiber Deep Node is a small size fiber node that is well
suited for use in forward path only, fiber deep applications. The operating frequency
range is configurable to be either 862 MHz or 1 GHz depending on applications.
The node can be configured for either single or dual RF output ports by rotating an internal signal
director. The single RF output level of the node reaches up to 114 dBV. Built-in attenuators and
equalizers can be set without plug-ins. The node also provides a LED display with two digits which
displays the optical input power.
This node is designed to be used in specific network architectures that incorporate broadcast video
distribution along with an Ethernet overlay for the return path. The nodes large optical input range
and high RF output helps reduce the number of active network elements in large MDUs. The node
has an optical AGC circuit embedded. AGC covers a wide optical input range of -6 to +2 dBm at
114 dBV for both 862 MHz and 1 GHz.
