EDR 85 System Overview System Description The Cisco EDR system is a set of long-haul transport products for CATV reverse path applications. The system is designed to transport analog reverse path spectra from hub or headend to hub or headend over optical fiber. Reverse path signals are typically DOCSIS and DAVIC data.
Note: Node data is only available for GS7000 Nodes that have a transponder-less LCM installed and an interface cable installed between transmitter and LCM. For details, see the Cisco Enhanced Digital Return (EDR) C2185 Transmitter for Compact Segmentable Nodes A9020x Installation and Operation Guide, part number 62-7023683-01 .

EDR Transmitter Front and Back Panel At the node or Prisma II chassis, the reverse transmitter converts one or more RF signal(s) to an optical signal using an installed OPM, and transmits the signal to the headend or hub via fiber optic cable. When this optical signal reaches the headend or hub, the reverse optical receiver converts the signal to an RF signal and then routes the signal to the receiver's RF output using its installed OPM.
Prisma II slot. Its simple design allows for efficient routing of RF and electrical signal between the chassis back plane and each high density module. For the Prisma II EDR Transmitter with Integrated Transmitter Host Module, the chassis accepts two double-wide EDR Transmitter modules. This host module occupies two adjacent application slots in the Prisma II chassis.
