Remote PHY DOCSIS node
Number Component Description
10 Fiber management
tray
Manages the fiber cable inside the Ripple-2 node.
11 Replaceable
SIDACtor board
Protects the RF tray against voltage surges over the external
RF ports. To ensure adequate protection, the SIDACtor board
must always be replaced on nodes which are taken out of the
field for service purposes.
12 Tamper Switch
Sensor
A small push button switch that is activated by the fiber
management tray when the housing lid is closed; the switch
releases when the lid is opened. This enables operators to
monitor if the node is being serviced or tampered with. The
current state, Closed or Open, is revealed by running one of
these CLI commands:
• show rpn <rpn-id> lid
• show rpn <rpn-id> verbose
13 Pluggable diplexer
filter
Three types of diplexers are available:
• Low-split, 42/54 MHz split, ordering P/N COS-RPL
+PDPLX-L
• Mid-split, 85/102 MHz split, ordering P/N COS-RPL
+PDPLX-M
• High-split, 204/246 MHz split, ordering P/N COS-RPL
+PDPLX-H
14 Powering Port 6 The node ships with ports 5 and 6 blocked by a plugs which
can be removed to allow the insertion of a dedicated power
stinger. The power adapter cable kit screws into the node
insert.
15 Powering Port 6 AC
board
The AC board receives the AC power feed from the dedicated
powering port, via the power adapter kit. There is an
equivalent AC board at port 5.
16 DC (+ control)
Cable Connector
Connectors for connecting DC power (and control cables)
between the base and lid.
17 DC Cable Connects DC power (and control cables) between the base
and lid.
18 Buoy Power
Backup module
(optional)
Buoy allows the node to withstand brief power interruptions
(up to 4 seconds in duration), with minimal disruption to
service. The Buoy Power Backup module fits into the 2nd PSU
compartment of the node, and is hot-swappable.
19 Optical fiber port Two optical fiber ports are available.
RF tray segmentation and configuration options
RF tray segmentation provides the flexibility required when deploying the Ripple-2 node as a Remote
PHY DOCSIS or as a Remote DOCSIS / FTTx Hybrid node in various networks.
