The model CH3000 is Aurora Networks' advanced mid-plane, 3RU chassis design, which offers the network operator a platform featuring maximum flexibility, high packaging density and simplicity of operation. The CH3000 is ideal for all types of optical networks, single wavelength, CWDM or DWDM, and for both Analog and Digital transmission techniques.
The CH3000 incorporates the unique combination of two patented design features, the midplane platform concept and dynamic back plates on all active modules. The mid-plane provides the DC power bus, the universal communications bus (supporting local and remote SNMP management) and facilitates the installation of modules from either the front or the rear of the chassis. Dynamic back plates simplify pre-wiring of the chassis; module replacement can be accomplished from the front of the chassis without disconnecting/reconnecting cables at the back of the chassis. The combination of mid-plane platform design and the dynamic back plate feature on all active modules makes the CH3000 the industry's most flexible, configurable and future-proof platform for traditional HFC, passive HFC and fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) networks.
