GigaXtend 204MHz Digital Return Transmitter Module (GS7000 Compatible)

A critical component of the ATX 204MHz Digital Return System, the GigaXtend™ 204MHz Digital Return Transmitter Module is located within the Cisco® GS7000 Node and uses standard 10Gbps Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP+) transceivers for enhanced flexibility.

The transmitter module converts each signal to a baseband digital data stream and combines the signals into a serial data stream using time-division multiplexing (TDM). The baseband data stream is then converted to an optical signal for transmission to the headend or hub. The double- wide (2:1) transmitter modules occupy two transmitter slots.
