Full Description

Cable operator networks are large expansive networks that involve hundreds if not thousands of miles ofcoaxial or fiber cable powered by power supplies in the outside plant and connecting customers to criticalinfrastructure facilities such as hubs, headends, data centers, regional, and national distributiondatacenters. In these facilities is a vast array of equipment responsible for the production and support ofthe cable operator?s products and services such as voice, video, data, home automation and security, andWi-Fi. The importance of powering all of these devices in the critical facilities is ever increasing as thecustomer expectation is for 100% availability due to the critical nature of the services being provided tobusiness and residential customers. This document defines how to use a standard methodology to measurethe density of hardware to meet the needs of optimizing critical space, as well as measuring energyconsumption for the various network element classes. This part of the series focuses on the CMTS,CCAP, and other related cable operator critical facility equipment.
