Cable refers to use of coaxial cable or fiber for signal transmission. Cable solves the problem of poor over-the-air TV reception. CATV originally meant “community antenna television.” Cable System Benefits Cable is cost-effective as “broadcast” architecture is cascaded to users. Cable supports different services: Analog video Digital video Voice Data Inexpensive high-speed Internet access enables the application of advanced SOHO and teleworker deployments. Digital Signals over RF Channels Fiber Benefits Lessens the use of amplifiers Thin and lightweight Covers long distances Cheaper than pure coaxial network Easy to handle Immune to external interference HFC Architecture Cable network is segmented into service areas (segments): Less amplifiers are cascaded Reliability and quality is improved Operating costs are reduced Data over Cable Data service runs between cable modem and CMTS. Users on a segment share upstream and downstream bandwidth.
