5.6 Upgrading a RF amplifier into an optical node
In the following section, we are going to demonstrate the upgrade of an amplifier to optical fibre node
in less than 10 minutes:
Remove RF modules and input diplex filter.
These modules can be reused in other
amplifiers. If an input splitter/tap is installed,
this can be removed at this time as well.
Note: all procedures can be executed while
the amplifier is powered up.
Install the fibre tray in the position of the input
diplex filter and secure it with a screw.
Insert the optical receiver module in the
bottom slot (replacing the RF forward
amplifier) and the upstream transmitter into
the top slot (replacing the return amplifier).
