Cable an HFC Connector Module or SIM

One possible deployment scenario for the upstream is to attach one node per upstream port

and to turn on one upstream interface per node. If one of the nodes reaches capacity due to

high penetration or heavy usage of bandwidth-intensive services, you can provision another

interface on that port.

 

 

 

To cable the downstream ports, following this procedure (see Figure 18 on page 51 and

Figure 20 on page 54 for port labeling):

 

 

 

1. Select the first node in the cable plant for assignment to the first of four downstream

ports.

 

 

 

2. Connect the coaxial cable associated with the first node to the F-connector labeled DS0

on the HFC Connector Module or the SIM.

 

 

 

3. If applicable, select the second, third, and fourth nodes in the cable plant for assignment

to the remaining three downstream ports.

 

 

 

4. If applicable, connect the coaxial cables associated with the second, third, and fourth

nodes to the F-connectors labeled DS1, DS2, and DS3 on the HFC Connector Module or

the SIM.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When you tighten a coaxial cable onto an F-connector, use

 

 

 

 

a 7/16 inch torque wrench to apply torque according to

 

 

 

 

SCTE standards.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To cable the upstream ports, follow this procedure:

 

 

 

1. Select the first node in the cable plant for assignment to the first of four upstream ports.

 

 

 

2. Connect the coaxial cable associated with the first node to the F-connector labeled US0

on the HFC Connector Module or the SIM.

 

 

 

3. If applicable, select the second, third, and fourth nodes in the cable plant for assignment

to the remaining three upstream ports.

 

 

 

4. If applicable, connect the coaxial cables associated with the second, third, and fourth

nodes to the F-connectors labeled US1, US2, and US3 on the HFC Connector Module or

the SIM.

 

 

 

5. We recommend that you use cable organizers to dress and route all coaxial cables to

avoid obstructing the rear connections of the CMTS (see Figure 35 on page 112).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A node can represent a single node or multiple nodes that

 

 

 

 

are combined.
