1.3.4 Extender
The Extender is a free-standing add-on unit that can greatly expand both the reach and
capacity of any ZoneDAS system. Whereas an RU takes up one SD port to provide just one
service point, the Extender would take that same SD port and turn it into 8 more! By nature
of being a “mid-point station”, it also provides another 100 meters of reach between the BU
and the RU. So, whereas before there could be a 100-meter cable distance between the
BU and the RU, with an Extender there can be 200.
Figure 6 Extender Connection Illustration
The Extender has the same ports and LEDs as the BU, except it has replaced the BU’s 4 RF
modules with a single Extender module. LED indicators and ports are located on its front
panel, with near identical layout as the BU. The figure below shows its front panel and its
different parts and ports.
