The FODA Series are outdoor optical nodes designed for HFC applications. They consist of a high quality optical receiver module combined with a power doubling hybrid amplifier stage resulting in excellent CNR and CTB performance over a wide optical input range. Designed with cast-aluminum housings, the FODA is ideal for outdoor as well as indoor back board installations. The FODA housing utilizes a carbonized rubber and wire mesh gasket to provide excellent protection against RFI and moisture ingress. 5/8" entry fittings in the housing allow hard line cable to connect directly to the amplifier. For RG-11 or RG-6 cabling applications, a KS-F adapter is included to provide an output “F” connection.
