RF LINK™
RF INTEGRATOR® (ACTIVES)
APPLICATION
BENEFITS
RF management is a critical element when planning the
headend and hubs for future expansion of advanced
services. It provides a flexible platform that reduces initial
costs, thereby allowing modules to be added as new
services are deployed.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Its modular design uses minimal rack space and can be
upgraded easily. The RF Integrator solution enables
critical components to be backed up, thereby creating a
reliable network that is compact and reduces overall
hardware requirements.
Active/passive chassis
Flexible configurations
Expandable platform
Efficient use of space
Allows for easy installation
Provides high performance
Cost-effective design
This platform allows active and passive modules to be
configured in the same chassis for overall system
efficiency.
