Re: MY NODE

I'm not a cable man by any means... So I could be off base...

But most of the Alpha boxes like that I see here are for batteries and power supplies. I may have seen one that was used as a fiber to coax node, but even then I'm not sure.

Someone wanna fill me in? I'm sure the Alpha boxes are just empty boxes that can have many uses. I just always see them used as power supplies more than nodes. Most nodes I see are similar looking to amplifiers.

Alpha mostly makes UPS's and power converters... It is possible that there's other gear mounted inside the cabinet as well, but not terribly likely (given the style of cabinet that is.)
