ARF120G MDU AMP

ARF120G Series 1.2 GHz GaAs amplifier is part of ACT Advanced Fiber Deep HFC solution, which has been designed to deliver interactive CATV, high capacity DOCSIS and other advanced services. The cost effective last mile amplifier platform helps operators expand bandwidth of their existing HFC network while minimizing capital investment. The ARF120G compact housing has compact housing with embedded RF module and is suitable for MDU, FTTB or FTTC applications with output up to 108 dBµV. The ARF120G 1.2 GHz GaAs amplifier has up to 204MHz return path bandwidth with plug-in diplexers. Forward amplifier output test point can be used to insert return path carriers while monitoring the carriers signal level at the return path input test point. ARF120G amplifier has low power consumption and supports local or remote power options. Combined with ACT’s converged headend AH1000 optical system and AON node series, ARF120G is an ideal product to provide MSOs with an economical, flexible HFC access solution.
