PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The ARRIS SG4000 modular optical node provides an unprecedented level of performance and flexibility. The SG4000 utilizes Gallium
Nitride (GaN) technology for increased output levels and reliability. With provisions for up to nine optics modules in the lid and six RF
modules in the base, the SG4000 scales from its most basic version to full 4x4 capability without any loss of initial investment. The
node enables incremental and independent forward and return path segmentation to address network growth.

Forward Path
The SG4000 1 GHz optical receiver series includes both a standard gain and a high gain version to optimize fiber architectures.
Both feature integrated JXP attenuation locations, as well as optical and RF test points, for easy alignment and set‐up. The node
can be configured with up to four receivers in segmented 2X or 4X configurations, or in redundant 1R or 2R configurations.
Unique RF configuration boards plug in to the housing lid router board to direct signal flow within the node. This flexibility allows
the node to support custom applications such as Local Channel Insertion.
The SG4000 features independent RF modules that provide excellent port‐to‐port isolation and are the foundation for total
segmentation. The hot swappable modules improve reliability by allowing un‐affected ports to remain in service while
maintenance Is performed. Bandwidth upgrades are accomplished by changing the RF module to a higher diplex split.
Return Path
The SG4000 features a wide range of return transmitter technologies to support higher modulation schemes and DOCSIS 3.0
bonded channels. Cost effective analog CWDM DFBT analog transmitters facilitate fundamental node segmentation.
The newest 85 MHz Digital Return transmitters utilize 2X Time Domain Multiplexing (TDM) and pluggable Small Form Pluggable
(SFP) optics to maximize segmentation and wavelength aggregation. An analog DWDM transmitter is also available with
5–200 MHz RF bandwidth for maximum wavelength aggregation.
Unique RF configuration boards plug in to the housing lid router board to direct signal flow within the node. This flexibility allows
the node to support custom applications such as Local Channel Insertion.
Advanced Applications
The SG4000 supports the migration from traditional Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) networks to more progressive fiber deep
architectures. A full suite of advanced application modules—which can be configured in many of the same residential HFC node
enclosures or as a stand‐alone installation dedicated for Commercial Services—are available:
• High‐power Erbium‐Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFA) provide a practical and cost‐effective alternative to remote hubs or Optical
Transport Network (OTN) terminals. The new OA509N21 features a single 21 dBm output and is gain flattened to support
multiwavelength solutions across a single fiber.
• The SG4‐OSW Optical Switch automatically switches between primary and secondary signal sources during a loss or
degradation of signal for either the forward or return path. The switch allows operators to increase the reliability of their fiber
networks, maintaining critical Service Level Agreement (SLA) performance.
• The ENS‐3060 is a remotely managed, multi‐port Ethernet node switch that delivers advanced voice, video, and data business
services over fiber‐based Ethernet networks. Utilizing the appropriate system design and ARRIS optical passives and SFPs, cable
operators can now add business services customer traffic onto fibers that currently service their residential traffic, providing
them with a way to transition seamlessly to MEF‐certified Ethernet services.

Management Options
Monitoring and controlling the SG4000 is achieved with the optional DOCSIS transponder. The transponder utilizes SCTE‐HMS
standards for fiber node monitoring and provides easy access to information and control through standard SNMP MIBs. An
intuitive web page allows operators to remotely access the transponder via its IP address and provides a graphical view of the
node, its installed modules and parameter status.
Alternately, the new 85 MHz Digital Return platform conveys transmitter module and node powering status to the headend via
either the GX2 or CHP digital return receiver. Operators can monitor and view status information from the GX2 or CHP
management modules using CORView™ or their preferred Element Management System.
