Arris 1GHz Line Extenders Amplifier

The FM331-LE maintains operating specifications, such as gain and tilt, at 750 MHz and 870 MHz, with extended gain and tilt out to 1 GHz. These unique design considerations eliminate the additional cost of resplicing by enabling operators to reuse legacy line extender housings and existing spacing, making the FM331-LE line extender drop-in RF module an ideal choice for 1 GHz system upgrades. The FM331-LE also provides excellent forward and return path performance. The unit features 1 GHz GaAs technology that improves distortion performance and minimizes system performance issues relative to Composite Second Order (CSO) and Composite Triple Beat (CTB). Optional GaN technology provides higher output capacity for extended reach or fiber deep applications.

FM331-LE line extenders are available with three level control options: automatic level control (ALC), thermal level control (TLC), and no level control (NLC). The ALC models offer a variety of common analog and QAM/digital pilot frequencies. In addition, ARRIS offers several frequency split options, including the 85/105 MHz frequency split for expanding broadband networks. The unit’s plug-in filter design allows for bench upgradability to any offered frequency split for maximum flexibility.
