CHP Max Headend
Optical Platform
The CHP Max headend optical platform transmits and receives optical signals. In its base
form, the platform consists of a rack-mounted chassis configured with these plug-in
modules:
■ power supply (one or two)
■ application modules (such as forward transmitters and return receivers)
■ management module (Craft Management or System Management)
The CHP Max platform’s modular nature makes it extremely flexible. Universal module slots
accept plug-in application modules in virtually any configuration so that you can build racks
of CHP Max components to support a variety of signal transport requirements.
Functional Description
