Description
Technical Specifications

The Cisco RF Gateway Downstream 48-1G Universal Edge QAM Line Card is a 12-port, 48-channel universal edge quadrature amplitude modulation (UEQAM) modulator designed for operation in the Cisco RF Gateway 10 platform. This line card is very similar in function to the standalone Cisco RF Gateway 1 Universal Edge QAM product, but the Cisco RF Gateway 10 can accommodate up 10x the density of the Cisco RF Gateway 1.
