Cisco Prisma II Dual Reverse Optical Receivers 300 MHz
The Prisma II Dual Reverse Optical Receiver modules are available in the half-height high-density form factor.
The modules contain two independent reverse optical receivers and two RF output ports. A single module occupies one slot in a Prisma II XD chassis. Two such modules can be vertically stacked in an associated Prisma II host module that occupies a single-wide slot in the Prisma II standard chassis. Up to 26 Prisma II Dual Reverse Receiver 300 MHz modules can operate in a standard 6RU chassis, while up to 16 Prisma Dual Reverse Receiver modules 300 MHz can operate in the 3RU Prisma II XD chassis.
The ability to mix high-density receivers with other Prisma II modules in the same chassis greatly enhances the flexibility of the platform. Prisma II Dual Reverse Optical Receiver 300 MHz modules are available in two versions: standard input level and low input level.

Cisco Prisma II Forward Optical Receivers
The High Density Forward Receiver (HDRx-F) module is primarily used to receive signals fed from a narrowcast (QAM) optical transmitter. Two HDRx-F modules can be vertically stacked in an associated Host Module which occupies a single wide slot in the Prisma II chassis. Up to 26 HDRX-F modules can operate in a standard 6RU chassis*. The ability to mix high density receivers with other Prisma II modules in the same chassis greatly enhances the flexibility of the platform. The Full Height Single Forward Receiver module may be used to receive signals from either a broadcast optical transmitter or a narrowcast (QAM) optical transmitter. It contains a single forward optical receiver with one RF output port and occupies a single wide slot in the Prisma II chassis

Cisco Prisma II Hybrid QAM Transmitter
The Cisco Prisma II Hybrid QAM Transmitter (HQT) offers superior MER complete with 4k QAM and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) capabilities.
Cisco Prisma II SuperQAM 1.2 Transmitter
The Cisco Prisma II SuperQAM 1.2 transmitter offers increased bandwidth and uses existing directly-modulated QAM transmitter designs to support DOCSIS® 3.1 networks. This transmitter combines the enhanced channel carrying capacity of the Prisma II 1-GHz SuperQAM Full Spectrum transmitter with the narrowcast support in multi-wavelength systems inherent in the original Prisma II 1-GHz SuperQAM transmitter to provide unprecedented performance in a directly modulated transmitter.
Cisco Prisma II 1310 nm 1.2 GHz Transmitter
The 1310 nm high-density transmitters (HDTx) are designed for use in the standard Prisma II or the Prisma II XD chassis containing standard power supplies and fan trays. The ability to mix high-density transmitter modules with other Prisma II modules in the same chassis greatly enhances the flexibility of the platform. Up to 26 transmitters can operate in a standard 6-rack-unit (6RU) Prisma II chassis, effectively doubling the density for 1310 nm transmitters in that chassis. Up to 16 HDTx modules fit in the Prisma II XD chassis for even higher density. The transmitters have a 1.2 GHz passband to permit the inclusion of high-order modulation types consistent with DOCSIS 3.1 advances. Microprocessor control allows ease of installation and flexibility of application. The transmitters are offered in two performance levels and a range of output powers from 3 to 15 dBm.
Cisco Prisma II 1.2 GHz High Density Long Reach Multiwave Transmitter:
The Cisco® Prisma® II 1.2 GHz High Density Long Reach Multiwave (HD-LRMW) Transmitter is the CATV industry’s first monolithic hybrid optical source module. Based on quaternary indium phosphide semiconductors, it separates the functions of light generation from RF modulation. The result is a smaller size, lower cost, narrow linewidth component providing performance more often associated with discrete external modulator technologies. Longer distance transmission without the linearity degradation of directly modulated sources is possible, expanding the capabilities of dense wavelength division multiplexed (DWDM) optical links to facilitate best-in-class architectures with unprecedented versatility and flexibility. Consistent with other Prisma II transmitters, the HD-LRMW offers 1.2 GHz of RF spectrum and transports a multiplex of analog, quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), and orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) channels with unmatched performance for node segmentation, fiber reclamation, and fiber deep architectures. The features, characteristics, and value position this transmitter to address the broadest range of applications in the fluid broadband access market.
