    摘要: A module for a hybrid fiber coax network includes a quad-output amplifier module that can include a port to couple to upstream devices, four ports to couple to downstream devices, and a configured port. The configured port can optionally couple to one of a radio frequency (RF) pre-amplifier or one or more optical transmitter modules or receiver modules. The module is initially provided in a default configuration as an optical node module. However, it can be pre-configured as a RF amplifier. When the configured port is coupled to the one or more optical transmitter modules or receiver modules in the default configuration, the module is operable as an optical node module. When the configured port is coupled to the RF pre-amplifier, the module is transformed to be operable as an RF amplifier.
