A splitter is used to divide a broadband signal into multiple paths, allowing distribution to multiple devices without significant signal loss.
HFC networks combine the high-speed data transfer capabilities of fiber optics with the widespread availability of coaxial cables.
Quality of Service (QoS) refers to the overall performance of a network service, particularly the ability to guarantee certain levels of bandwidth and latency.
The headend is the control center in a broadband distribution network where content is collected and distributed to subscribers.
FTTH refers to the installation of fiber optic cables directly to individual residences, providing high-speed internet access.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is commonly used for managing and configuring network devices, monitoring network performance, and detecting faults.
An amplifier is used to boost weak signals in a broadband distribution network to ensure they reach the end devices without significant loss in quality.
Tree topology, also known as hierarchical topology, is commonly used in broadband distribution networks to efficiently manage signal distribution and routing.
A modem modulates and demodulates digital signals to and from analog signals for transmission over telephone lines or cable systems.
An optical node converts the optical signals transmitted through fiber optics to electrical signals for distribution over coaxial cables.
The DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification) standardizes the interfaces for data transmission over cable television systems.
