The AR3044L provides four standard gain analog return path receivers in a single chassis module in support of HFC architectures. The high output power of the AR3044L allows passive RF splitting and increases system design flexibility.

The compact single‐width module design of the AR3044L allows the operator to install up to 56 return path receivers in one 3RU chassis. This approach minimizes rack space requirements in the headend and hubs, and enhances deployment of HFC networks.
