Motorola SG2440 Segmentable 870MHz Node Station

Motorola's STARLINE

SG2440 scaleable optical node is the successor to the popular four-output SG2000 platform. The optical node performs light wave-to-RF and RF-to-light wave signal conversions in an optical transmission link. The SG2440 enables the system operator to independently and incrementally segment the downstream and upstream sections of the node without discarding the initial platform. This product is designed to support a wide variety of advanced hybrid-fiber/coaxial network topologies. As broadband communication systems continue to evolve, the demand increases for optical links that carry the signal further into the transport system. These systems require additional features and functionality such as digital compression and alternate access at significantly lower costs. Fully configured, the SG2440 supports these next-generation telecommunication networks. It also supports a variety of single and two-way broadband network applications such as broadcast video, interactive video, telephony, and data.

 SG2440 features include:

•  Standard, redundant, segmented, and frequency band split with redundant option for 750 MHz and 870 MHz forward passband using up to three optical receivers

•  Single, redundant, and split standard 40 MHz return using up to two analog or 1X digital return optical transmitters.

•  Split, split redundant, and segmented standard 40 MHz return passband using up to two 2X digital return optical transmitters

•  Four independent RF outputs

•  Ingress switching capability through manual or headend control

•  Redundant powering capability without the need for additional interconnect cable
