SG 2000 Installation and Operation Manual
Section 2
Overview
Designed to be flexible, you can configure the SG 2000 with up to three optical receivers, four
independent high-level RF outputs, and two return-path optical transmitters. Multiple receiver and
transmitter combinations are available to satisfy split-band or redundancy requirements. The forward
passband is extended to 870 MHz to increase channel capacity and support advanced interactive
services and global applications.
Housing
The aluminum housing protects the electronics from weather damage and dissipates internally
generated heat. Figure 2-1 illustrates the housing dimensions of the SG 2000 optical node:

For strand mounting, the optional bracket must be used. If the node is configured for strand
mounting, the bracket is installed on the node at the factory. The bracket provides two clamps,
located 16-7/8 inches apart, that secure the strand with 5/16 × 20 stainless steel bolts.
Coaxial cable connections to the housing are made using conventional 5/8 inch × 24 threads per inch,
stinger-type connectors.
Mounting Holes
Two threaded holes are located on the horizontal centerline on the back of the housing. These
5/16 × 18 × ¾ holes are separated by 11 inches center-to-center and can be used for pedestal or
surface mounting.
