Building blocks for HFC networks
With the introduction of new broadband data transmission technologies (DOCSIS 3.0 and 3.1), service providers are forced to continuously upgrade and segment HFC networks. To provide quality services, it is necessary to build the HFC network from reliable, durable and high-quality components.
Passive and active solutions recommended by our company have been developed using the latest technologies and are suitable for the construction of next generation HFC networks.
HFC optical active elements
With DOCSIS 3.0 and DOCSIS 3.1 standardized solutions, CATV providers can compete with FTTH operators. However, as the speed of data provision increases and the number of digital channels (and especially HD channels) increases, the current 860MHz band must be increased to 1 or 1.2 GHz, and networks must be continuously segmented.
The applied new generation HFC optical active solutions should meet the following criteria:
-
High port density
-
Low power consumption
-
Wide frequency range (1 and 1.2 GHz)
-
High modularity enables the easy network modifications in the future
-
Modern network management
Our company offers the Pacific Broadband Networks, InnoTrans and Technetix high-quality, reliable and affordable optical solutions its customers.
Pacific Broadband Networks:

Technetix:
Founded in 1990, Technetix offers complete solutions for cable TV companies. Their products include the outdoor and indoor passives, filters and isolators of the former Dutch company Tratec. Several unique technical solutions are used in the passive devices they produce.
PPC:
Our company offers its customers the cable television coaxial connectors of PPC. PPC has over 65 years of experience in the field of connectors, a well-known representative of market-leading connector manufacturers. PPC has manufacturing facilities in the United States, Denmark and China. Their products represent the highest technical standard.
PPC continuously develops its products to meet changing needs. It has numerous patents and unique solutions. Particular attention is paid to the selection and testing of good quality, durable materials before application.
Headend RF management and cabling
By segmenting the HFC networks, the number of the headend forward and upstream RF ports and the number of the associated connection cables are continuously growing. To do this, we recommend Belden's mini RG59 quadshield headend cable and the matching headend connectors and the modular RF management solutions of the ATX company. RF management solution includes RF combiners, splitters, and headend amplifiers.
