Description
The bdr Digital Reverse 4:1 Multiplexing System expands the functionality of the Scientific-Atlanta Model 6944, 6942, and 6940 Nodes by increasing the performance, reach, and efficiency of the reverse path transmissions.
At the node (transmit) end of the system, the 5 to 40 MHz or 7 to 42 MHz reverse path RF input signals from each of the node’s four ports are routed to a Digital Module in the housing lid. The Digital Module converts each signal to a baseband digital data stream and time division multiplexes the four streams into a single data stream. The data stream is split to enable routing for redundant optical transport. One (non-redundant application) or two (redundant application) Laser Modules installed in the housing lid convert the baseband data stream to an optical signal for transmission back to the headend or hub at either 1310 nm or 1550 nm wavelengths. ITU grid wavelengths are used for Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) applications.
On the receive end, typically in a large hub or headend, Receiver Modules located in the Receive Processor frame receive the optical signal and perform conversion back to the baseband data stream. The Receive Processor demultiplexes the data stream and converts the four resultant data streams back to analog reverse path signals for routing to termination equipment. This equipment is housed in the Prisma II Chassis, the industry’s first carrierclass platform – providing unprecedented network reliability, equipment density, and high-performance functionality.
