Maxnet II RF Management

Overview

The MAXNET II Platinum Series provides an ultra-dense, fully integrated RF signal management solution. By utilizing the properties of MCX connectors and mini coaxial cable, MAXNET II offers the benefits of our original MAXNET line and more – in a lot less space. The product lineup includes splitting/combining passive modules (16, 8, 6, 4, dual 4-way, and triple 2-way), DC modules, broadcast/narrowcast combiner, diplex filter, MCX to F transition module, amplifiers, power supplies, RF detector A/B switch and optical receivers.

Passive Modules

Passive modules include splitting/combining modules (16, 8, 6, 4, dual 4-way, and triple 2-way), DC modules, broadcast/narrowcast combiner, diplex filter and an MCX to F transition module. Most passive modules have front access locations for pads and EQs along with front access to -20 dB dual test points.

 

Active Amplifiers & RF Switches

ATX offers MAXNET II hot-swappable amplifiers in a variety of technologies (GaAs and GaN) for forward and return applications, as well as an RF detector A/B switch.

Ultra-Dense RF & Optical Active Modules

The ATX MAXNET II platform offers ultra-dense, single-width combiners, narrowcast amplifiers and return path receivers.

Chassis & Power Supplies

MAXNET II is offered in a compact 3RU chassis (passive and active versions available) along with compact 1RU passive chassis. Modules push and lock into the chassis so no mounting hardware is necessary. Choose from an assortment of cable management selections including trays, bars and cable management systems. Hot-swappable power supplies are available in both AC and 48V powering versions.

Filters

ATX has over 30 years of experience in designing and manufacturing industry leading, high performance RF filters. The MAXNET II diplex filter module is used to separate the forward and return path spectrum.

Pads | EQs | Connectors | Accessories

A combination of MCX, F and BNC connectors for miniature coaxial cable enables users to easily interface between the MCX-based MAXNET II platform and legacy F and BNC equipment. MAXNET II’s optimized RF performance, non-blind entry compression MCX, F and BNC connectors and terminators allow for easy field installation.

Other MAXNET II accessories include connector installation tools, MCX to F and BNC adaptors, locking header blocks, plug-in pads and EQs (along with an insertion/extraction tool), inline MCX pads, mini cable and fiber installation/extraction tools, and replacement fans.

SignalOn RF & L-Band Management

Overview

ATX’s SignalOn Series of RF Management products provides a variety of modular solutions to simplify the headend signal management challenge with the highest rack space density achievable using F connectors. The SignalOn Series offers specifications that exceed cable industry requirements for insertion loss, port-to-port isolation and frequency response. ATX offers an array of SignalOn passive and active modules including RF splitters/combiners, DCs, L-Band splitters, diplex filters, conditioning and monitoring modules, amplifiers, power supplies and RF switch modules.

 

Passive Modules

SignalOn passives include RF splitting/combining modules (8, 4, 2, dual 4-way and triple 2-way), DCs, diplex filter, conditioning and monitor module, and L-Band splitters. Some SignalOn passive modules have front access to make-before-break attenuation along with front access to test points.

Active Amplifiers & RF Switches

SignalOn provides hot-swappable GaAs technology forward and return path amplifiers, as well as an RF switch module.

  • Fully integrated, high density, modular-based, F or BNC connector-based RF/L-Band signal management platform
  • DOCSIS® 3.1 and CCAP™ compliant

Chassis & Power Supplies

ATX’s SignalOn Series offers passive (5RU, 2RU, 1RU) and active powered chassis (5RU, 2RU). Cable management options are also available. Hot-swappable power supplies are available in both AC and -48V powering versions.

Filters

The SignalOn diplex filter module conveniently separates the forward and reverse path frequency so that the respective signals can then be routed to the appropriate downstream or upstream transmission equipment.

Pads / EQs / Connectors / Accessories

To ensure a standard of high performance, ATX has developed many accessories for the SignalOn series. Accessories include plug-in pads and EQs, DC power upgrade kits, power supply accessories and blank module covers.

MAXNET RF Management

Passive Modules

Passive modules include multiple configurations of MAXNET splitters/combiners, DCs, filters, and a signal conditioning (pad/EQ) module. All splitting, combining, and DC modules are equipped with plug-in pads and EQs (where applicable).

Active Amplifiers & RF Switches

ATX offers hot-swappable MAXNET amplifiers in a variety of technologies (GaAs and GaN), as well as an RF detector/switch and a dual A/B switch.

Chassis & Power Supplies

Depending on your needs, ATX offers MAXNET standard active and active powered chassis (5RU) along with passive chassis (1RU, 3RU, 5RU). Choose from an assortment of cable management selections including trays, ears, and bars. Hot-swappable power supplies are available in both AC and -48V powering versions.

Filters

ATX has over 30 years of experience in designing and manufacturing industry leading, high performance RF filters. MAXNET filter modules are offered in most of ATX’s standard formats including highpass, lowpass, general bandpass, wide bandpass, diplex, noise filter for fiber optic systems, and band rejection. These filters are available in many combinations of the types listed above.

Pads / EQs / Connectors / Accessories

To ensure each piece of the broadband network meets a standard of high performance, ATX has developed many accessories for the MAXNET RF management platform that are sometimes overlooked. Items include blank panels, installation tools, BNC compression connectors, pads and EQs, patch panels, and quality F and BNC terminators.
