Standards compliance | DOCSIS 3.1, DOCSIS 3.0 or DOCSIS 2.0 | - |
Upstream communication protocol | ATDMA, OFDMA | - |
Channel width | DOCSIS 3.1:
DOCSIS 3.0 European standard:
DOCSIS 3.0 North American standard:
| - |
Max number of channels | Downstream:
Upstream:
| - |
Modulation | DOCSIS 3.1:
DOCSIS 3.0:
| - |
Maximum QAM output level (obtained based on the number of CMC channels) | 1 | |
Output impedance | 75 ohms | - |
Upstream input level (can be configured using software) | DOCSIS 3.1: -10 to 10 dBmV @ 1.6 MHz DOCSIS 3.0: | 2 |
Downstream MER | DOCSIS 3.1:
DOCSIS 3.0:
| 3 and 4 |
NOTE:- The output level of each channel can be reduced based on the maximum output level. The CMC output is flat. The output level of each channel can be configured. Configure the output level for channels one by one. The maximum downstream output level can be set by running the cable downstreamchannel-id rf-power value command.
- When the configured upstream input level is out of the value range specified by the protocol, the CMC adjusts the upstream input level. According to the DOCSIS 3.1 standard, upstream input levels vary according to modulation modes.
- The values are obtained on CMC RF_OUT ports when the optical receiver is shut down.
- DOCSIS 3.1 MER test conditions:
- 192 MHz OFDM channel, total frequency width 528 MHz (2 x 192 MHz + 144 MHz)
- Equal to 88 DOCSIS 3.0 channels (calculated using the U.S. standard 6M channel bandwidth)
