CISCO RFGW-DS48

The Cisco RF Gateway Downstream 48-1G Universal Edge QAM Line Card is a 12-port, 48-channel universal edge quadrature amplitude modulation (UEQAM) modulator designed for operation in the Cisco RF Gateway 10 platform. This line card is very similar in function to the standalone Cisco RF Gateway 1 Universal Edge QAM product, but the Cisco RF Gateway 10 can accommodate up 10x the density of the Cisco RF Gateway 1.

In the 10-slot Cisco RF Gateway 10 platform, RF Gateway Downstream 48-1G UEQAM line cards can be configured with 1:N redundancy (up to 1:9), resulting in a fully protected, high-capacity, and highly dense edge QAM solution. For video services, the line cards can accept multiple formats of video content and provide a wide range of video processing features. Leading-edge RF technology is used to perform QAM modulation and RF upconversion, at significant space and power savings compared to existing upconverter architectures.
