The Motorola Starline SG4000 modular optical node provides operators with an unprecedented level of performance and flexibility. With provisions for up to nine optics modules, the SG4000 scales from its most basic version to full 4x4 capability without any loss of initial investment and with minimal service interruptions. Customers will benefit from its expandable, flexible configurations that allow station growth without any up-front price penalty.

Featuring all new module designs, the SG4000 builds on Motorola's heritage of reliability and performance. The forward path uses Motorola Proprietary Enhanced Gallium Arsenide (E-GaAs) technology to deliver broadcast video and data over the entire 40 - 870 MHz passband.

As a platform for Motorola's high-speed Time Domain Multiplexed (TDM) digital return, the SG4000 effectively combines node segmentation with wavelength aggregation, conserving fiber resources. Available with a Hybrid Management Sub-Layer (HMS) compatible status monitor transponder, the SG4000 supports today's evolving HFC networks.
