You have have too many questions to be answered on this post but you can call Comsonics out of Harrisonburg Va and talk to repair dept and I bet they can answer all your questions in a more accurate way than on this post. They repair all equipment out there and are probably well versed on your passive questions too. It’s pretty hard to keep track of all the labels now as Arris has bought just about everything. I guess you could call Arris but I’ve never dealt with their tech support. Good luck!
