GX2 Platform - OmniStar GX2 Optical Broadband Transmission Platform

OmniStar® is a fiber optic transmission platform designed for the broadband hybrid fiber/coax networks of tomorrow. The OmniStar provides increased module density, while continuing the OmniStar legacy of superior scalability, performance and flexibility. The 4RU chassis accepts up to 16 plug-n-play application modules minimizing headend space requirements. A two rack-unit mini-chassis is also available that holds three application modules. With superior 1310 nm and 1550 nm products, the OmniStar enables you to offer more revenue-generating services.
