Introduction
The GAM is a Fiber to the Distribution Point (FTTDp) solution typically installed
inside a wiring closet. The GAM-4-CRX and GAM-4-CX come with one (1) 10
Gigabit SFP+ interfaces to support any type of fiber or PON standards (using an
SFP-based or external ONT as required that is compatible with the OLT).
The ITU-T G.9960 G.hn Wave-2 standard leverages the existing telephone wiring
(UTP, CAT-3 or CAT-5/5e) or RG-6/RG-59 coax cabling to deliver a Gigabit
Internet service to each subscriber without the cost, complexity and delays
associated with in-building fiber installation. G.hn is an Access technology for
Operators looking to simplify their access network and backend infrastructure with
an Ethernet-like technology that is highly scalable without some of the inherent
complexity of DSL-related technologies. With G.hn, Operators deliver advanced
services such as Gigabit High Speed Residential Internet and 4K IPTV without the
high capital and operational expenses associated with a fiber retrofit. Each G.hn
subscriber port supports up to 1.7 Gbps of dynamically allocated bandwidth for
near symmetrical Gigabit services over the existing telephone wire or coaxial
cable. The Positron GAM solution is MEF CE 2.0 compliant and is ideally suited to
deliver Business Ethernet services in an MDU and/or MTU deployment.

GAM Connections
This section provides an overview of the connectors inside the GAM-4-CRX and
GAM-4-CX. Please refer to section 2 for a detailed step-by-step installation
procedure.
1.2.1
Power Connection
The GAM-4-CRX is Reverse Power Fed (from G1001-CR endpoint devices) while
the GAM-4-CX is locally powered. There must be at least one (1) G1001-CR
device per G.hn coax port of a GAM-4-CRX that is serving customers. Other
subscribers can then use a G1001-CR or a G1001-C/G1000-C as needed.
