Background

The analog ber modulation and transmission mode used in traditional CMTS often reduce CNR, making
it impossible to adopt higher-order modulation methods. In comparison, an attenuation of 7 to 8 dB for

In the cable access market, the traditional cable TV service is shrinking, while the broadband service
becomes a new growing point. Following this trend, MSOs are intend to provide higher bandwidth
service and build a converged full service access network. To meet this requirement, Huawei proposed

CNR can be achieved in D-CCAP through digital bers and transmission technology, paving the way for
higher-order modulation methods. Empirical research data shows that D-CCAP can increase the average
bandwidth by 30%.

the distributed CCAP (D-CCAP) solution, which integrates FTTx and CCAP, to help MSOs build ultrabroadband and converged service access network.
