Comparison—Flex Max901e and 700/800/900/901 Series
C-COR Flex Max901e trunk and bridger amplifiers are the new industry standard for RF distribution
products. The FM901e continues to offer the same excellent feature sets, reliability, and
performance that customers have come to rely on with C-COR’s legacy 700/800/900/901 series
trunk and bridger amplifiers.
The objective of the enhancements to the current FM901 series was to assist and promote the
migration of current customers—those still buying the legacy FlexNet700/800/900 amplifiers—to
the new FM901e 1 GHz series amplifiers. The FM901e can be deployed at either 870 MHz or 1 GHz.
To that extent, C-COR now provides several design enhancements to the original FM901 series
amplifier.
This enhanced product family will deliver these features:
■
Bandwidth extended to 1 GHz.
■
Factory aligned to 1 GHz specifications, but can be deployed into 750/870 MHz applications
with field accessible plug-ins.
■
Trunk amplifiers can be ordered preconfigured for 870 MHz operation for spares or
extensions.
■
Ability to:
– drop trunk modules into existing 700/800/900 series locations as a spare without the
need to rebalance amplifiers downstream.
– accept all legacy 750 and 870 MHz forward EQ plug-in accessories—new plug-in
guides ease installation.
■
Choice of –20 or –25 dB internal and external testpoints.
■
Expanded ALC pilot selection to match existing system designs.
■
Plug-in diplex filters that provide for higher future return bandwidth requirements and
international applications.
■
Element management monitoring capability.
