The optical interface unit (OIU) is a modular, chassis based, active RF to optic converter designed to operate with the HEU. It converts the RF signals received from up to four connected HEUs to optic signals for routing over up to 36 optical links, towards the intermediate and remote end elements. The OIU is managed via the HEU (or IHU), designated as the management unit for the site.

Quick Installation Guide
The IFB is a combiner/splitter interface box that combines RF services from two headend units (HEU/IHU), routes them through optical central hub (OCH) modules and forwards then for distribution to the high-power GX remotes. The IFB enables comprehensive high-power band coverage in a Corning ONE solution by supporting the deployment of the GX WCS/2.5 GHz TDD (dual-band) remote alongside GX quad-band remote.
The integrated headend unit (IHU) is a compact, flexible, chassis-based system that performs two functions: it conditions RF signals from up to eight bands and provides RF to optic signal conversion for the RF signals.
The IHU supports 12 slots:
This provides configuration flexibility as to the number of supported services (one per module) and the number of optical links (three per module).
The IHU can serve as the site management unit (if the appropriate control module is installed), or it can be managed via the designated HEU.
