Opti Max Optical Nodes

• Upgrade network capacity, quality, and reliability without costly fiber construction
• Improve fiber utilization with high-performance, multi-wavelength, legacy-friendly optical nodes
• Deploy minimum configuration today; expand incrementally as demand requires
• Increase the capacity of the network already deployed - inexpensively and incrementally
• Segment nodes easily, flexibly and cost-effectively

For operators facing fiber exhaustion, the ARRIS Opti Max platform of high-performance, multi-wavelength, segmentable optical nodes provide a flexible, cost-effective migration path to expanded capacity without laying additional fiber. With strand, wall, pedestal, or cabinet mount configurations, and drop modules for legacy equipment, Opti Max optical nodes readily integrate with legacy HFC architectures and equipment to protect the MSO's investment while delivering next-generation functionality and price-performance. Opti Max optical nodes offer superb quality and segmentation options from 1 x 4 to 2 x 2 to full 4 x 4 for flexibility and growth. The modular design provides a "pay as you grow" scalability, enabling MSOs to deploy minimal configurations today and expand easily as subscriber demand increases. They provide industry-leading segmentation on a single fiber and offer power and optical redundancy options for the carrier-grade reliability required by VoIP and data applications. The Opti Max drop in modules upgrade many legacy amplifiers such as C-COR and Phillips and the Opti Max optical lid upgrades provide a low-cost way to quickly enhance service or to segment coax subscriber groups. Opti Max nodes are engineered for a fast, easy, connectorized installation: no special fiber equipment and no extensive engineering evaluations are needed. Additional options (dependent upon model) include DOCSIS and ValueMax transponders for EMS support, GaN technology for higher output, fiber deep applications, and digital return path transmitters.
