ADC Announces the RF Worx SignalOn Series Platform.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers Cable-Tec Expo 2003 MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 13, 2003 Carrier-Class RF Signal Management Solution Features Patented Technology to Maximize Uptime During Network Reconfiguration and Maintenance 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 new RF Worx(R) SignalOn Series(TM) platform for video-on-demand, interactive video, 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. The RF Worx SignalOn Series provides cable operators with a carrier-class solution for handling signal management challenges in headends and hubs. ADC will demonstrate the RF Worx SignalOn Series platform in its booth #1553 at the SCTE SCTE Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers SCTE Society of Cable Television Engineers SCTE Serial Clock Transmit External Cable-Tec Expo in Philadelphia, May 12-14. The RF Worx SignalOn Series chassis accommodates up to 20 splitter/combiner modules featuring patented hitless attenuation Loss of signal power in a transmission. Attenuation The reduction in level of a transmitted quantity as a function of a parameter, usually distance. It is applied mainly to acoustic or electromagnetic waves and is expressed as the ratio of power densities. technology that eliminates signal disruption during maintenance practices. Plain splitter/combiner modules are also available. The platform's technical specifications for insertion loss The amount of loss attributed to a particular device being used in (inserted into) the system. For example, a circuit added to filter out unwanted frequencies may reduce the output current by some amount. See injection loss. , port-to-port isolation, and frequency response are among the industry's best. "ADC's RF Worx SignalOn Series platform's patented technology and best-in-class technical specifications assure high network availability during reconfiguration and maintenance," said Pat O'Brien, president of Connectivity Business Unit for ADC. "As MSOs strive to deliver carrier-class network performance, finely-tuned yet flexible network infrastructure is critical to success." Backed by a 10-year warranty, the robust system exceeds 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. . ADC's RF Worx SignalOn Series systems with plain splitter/combiner modules are now available for shipment. Splitter/combiner modules featuring hitless attenuation technology will become commercially available in July 2003. The RF Worx SignalOn Series is the most recent addition to ADC's portfolio of equipment, software, and services for carrier-class cable networks. ADC offers a wide assortment of fiber, copper and data connectivity solutions, systems integration services, operations support-system software, as well as circuit- and packet-switched cable systems including the Cuda(TM) 12000 IP Access Switch.
