Understanding the Cuda 12000 Within Your Network
Cuda 12000 IP Access Switches are installed at the HFC end of a cable plant
and are responsible for gateway operations between the headend and the
Internet. Through the Cuda 12000 IP Access Switch, digital data signals are
modulated onto RF channels for broadcast over the same infrastructure.
Typically, the signals are broadcast through the HFC to fiber nodes in the
network. Amplifiers, coaxial cable, and taps carry the signals to the
subscriber premises.
This example shows how the Cuda 12000 IP Access Switch can fit into your
network.
