1.2
Product Application
The HLP 4200 Platform is used with a number of plug-in
modules such as the PWRLinkrM series of 1310
nm
laser
transmitters, the MAXLinkTM series of 1510 nm laser
transmitters and optical amplifiers
,
as well as the HRM
38
10
receiver, the
QAM
modulator, and optical switches.
The HLP 4200 Platform is designed to meet the economic
and technical requirements of broadband service provid-
ers. The modular design of the product offers the user a
number of advantages:
The flexibility to add other plug-in modules as
industry requirements change, without the need to
replace equipment shelves, power supplies
or
status
monitoring equipment.
The economic advantage of maintaining spare plug-
in modules rather than entire subsystems.
*Reduced network downtime because of plug-in mod-
ule replacements.

ucts such as the HTR 2000D Transceiver.
