ADC Adds New Amplifier to RF Worx SignalOn Series Platform for Cable Operators.MINNEAPOLIS -- Non-Service-Affecting Signal Adjustment Ideal for Carrier-Class Services; Live Demonstrations Planned at SCTE SCTE Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers SCTE Society of Cable Television Engineers SCTE Serial Clock Transmit External Cable-Tec Expo 2004 ADC (1) See A/D converter. (2) (Apple Display Connector) A peripheral connector from Apple that combines digital video display, USB and power in one cable. (Nasdaq:ADCT ADCT Adaptive Discrete Cosine Transform ; www.adc.com) today announced the addition of a variable amplifier to the RF Worx(R) SignalOn Series(TM) platform for video-on-demand, high-speed data and IP telephony The two-way transmission of voice over a packet-switched IP network, which is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite. The terms "IP telephony" and "voice over IP" (VoIP) are synonymous. applications in multiple system operator (MSO (1) (Multiple System Operator) Typically refers to a cable TV organization that owns more than one cable system, but it may refer to an operator of only one system. ) networks. ADC will demonstrate the RF Worx SignalOn Series platform in its booth #1348 at the SCTE Cable-Tec Expo in Orlando, June 16-18. Leveraging more than a decade of RF Worx amplifier design experience, ADC's new SignalOn Series amplifier features 50 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. to 1 GHz operation with superior RF performance. GaAS technology and a near-100 percent surface mount design result in a low noise figure, low distortion characteristics, and high reliability. The slide-on power bus connection features robust gold-on-gold contacts and requires no cabling. The amplifier and associated power supplies can be housed in the same chassis as the SignalOn Series passive products, supporting greater headend design flexibility. "The addition of the amplifier further positions RF Worx SignalOn Series as the platform of choice for carrier-class services," said Brian Tamminen, senior product manager for ADC. "Top operators around the globe have already switched over to the benefits of SignalOn, and the introduction of our new active line gives engineers more alternatives as they design their networks." The RF Worx SignalOn Series provides cable operators with a carrier-class solution for handling signal management challenges in headends and hubs. ADC's patented make-before-break attenuator at·ten·u·a·tor n. A device that attenuates an electrical signal. Noun 1. attenuator - an electrical device for attenuating the strength of an electrical signal pad design of the splitters and combiners, along with the electronically variable gain and slope controls of the new amplifier, allow for non-service-affecting RF signal adjustment - critical for today's carrier-class broadband service applications. Backed by a 10-year warranty on all passives, the robust system is designed to exceed Network Equipment Building Standards (NEBS) requirements for grounding and bonding. Highly isolated submodules prevent crosstalk and a patent-pending module faceplate design virtually eliminates electromagnetic interference See EMI. . The new SignalOn Series Amplifier is available in June 2004.
