whitepaper Cabling the Dell PowerEdge T6102009-03-01 Dell
  This white paper describes recommended cable routing procedures, both with and without the optional Cable Management Arm (CMA) for the Dell PowerEdge T610 in the following racks like PowerEdge 4210, PowerEdge 2410, PowerEdge 4220 and PowerEdge 2420. If using the optional CMA, following these procedures will allow to extend the system from the rack for service without powering down or disconnecting the cables. If not using the CMA, following these procedures will ensure secure attachment and strain relief of the cables behind the system.   
whitepaper Delivering High-Speed Wireless Commercial Services With Canopy Cable2008-12-16 Motorola
  Wireless commercial services present tremendous opportunities for cable operators to increase revenues while building long-term bonds with business customers. Cable operators often face the fundamental challenge of offering broadband services to commercial customers when plant construction costs make the Return-On-Investment (ROI) unattractive. Construction costs to access the potential customer across the street, parking lot - or both - may make the ROI too long to justify the investment necessary to run cable. Canopy Cable allows cable operators to efficiently deliver wireless commercial services. They can address new markets without major plant or infrastructure investments, and can leverage existing HFC plant to provide broadband services to business customers.

whitepaper Five Basic Steps for Efficient Space Organization within High Density Enclosures2008-10-23 American Power Conversion (APC)
  Organizing components and cables within high density enclosures need not be a stressful, time consuming chore. In fact, thanks to the flexibility of new enclosure designs, a standard for organizing enclosure space, including power and data cables can be easily implemented. This paper provides a five step roadmap for standardizing and optimizing organization within both low and high density enclosures, with special emphasis on how to plan for higher densities

whitepaper Cable Management Practices for Active Ethernet Architectures2008-07-01 ADC Telecommunications
  Industry trends indicate that an active ethernet approach to Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) deployment is rapidly gaining popularity. There are several contributing factors, but one obvious reason is the desire for additional bandwidth to provide more features to the end customer. While there can be additional costs associated with this architecture, typically the labor cost for physically burying a 24-fiber outside plant (OSP) cable or an 864-fiber OSP cable in the ground is virtually the same. This paper addresses considerations for cabling and cable management between the Optical Distribution Frame (ODF) and the active electronics in the Central Office/HeadEnd (CO/HE) when deploying active ethernet. Since deployment scenarios typically differ, several connectivity and management options are presented, along with the advantages and disadvantages associated with each option.

whitepaper Using Bandwidth More Efficiently With Switched Digital Video2008-06-01 Motorola
  Switched Digital Video (SDV) offers tremendous promise for network operators seeking to more efficiently use bandwidth and deliver highly targeted content to subscribers. Motorola offers an end-to-end solution that allows cable operators to leverage their existing infrastructure to offer more channels and deliver a wide spectrum of niche programming to attract additional subscribers.

whitepaper WDM/CWDM/DWDM: Segmentation Primer-Maximizing Capacity for Revenue2008-06-01 Motorola
  Node segmentation provides a good tool for cable operators to increase targeted ser1ces, such as EOD, Internet data, and telephony. In many cases, cable operators have limited fibers and/or they could reclaim fibers for emerging opportunities such as commercial services. WDMICWDMIDWDM techniques offer better utilization of the existing fiber resources. Simple WDM techniques can double the fiber capacity, and CWDMIDWDM techniques can Increase the capacity multiple times. Recently, equipment vendors have developed new solutions for multi-wavelength downstream broadcast transport that are more cost-effective and more operationally friendly than what was previously available. Cable operators need to evaluate their requirements and select the best solutions that fit them.

whitepaper Bandwidth: Key Weapon in the Cable-Telco Battle for Subscribers2007-11-07 Microtune
  For years, cable service operators enjoyed excess network capacity and could rest easily. They had ample bandwidth to handle data and video services, and had no need to make serious upgrades to their systems, Customer Premise Equipment (CPE), or plants. Then, telcos upped the ante and made broadband to the home, especially in terms of Fiber To The Home (FTTH), more competitive. The cable services industry responded by accelerating the advancement of its cornerstone specification, Data-Over-Cable-Service-Interface-Specification (DOCSIS), to deliver a new version, DOCSIS 3.0. This new specification offers a new competitive weapon in the cable arsenal as cable service providers also upgrade their infrastructure, ramp up new services, and expand networks for bandwidth-hungry consumers.

whitepaper Twisted-Pair Ethernet: Copper Cabling for High Performance Networking2007-09-06 Anixter
  Ethernet has become the default network communications protocol and has evolved from first generation 10 Megabits per second (Mbps) speeds that were predominant in the early 1990s to the 10 Gigabits per second (10 Gbps) of today's networks. According to Dell'Oro, by the end of 2007, it was expected that one Gbps port shipments will exceed 100 Mbps port shipments. This paper discusses UTP copper cabling performance specifications as related to signal transmission aspects with special emphasis on twisted-pair Ethernet applications. It also discusses some installation and environmental considerations that affect the performance of cabling. Additionally, the paper illustrates the performance differences when running several applications over different twisted performance levels of twisted-pair copper cabling.

whitepaper Migrating Simple Data Over Cable Services to DOCSIS 1.12007-08-03 Cisco Systems
  The Data-Over-Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS) 1.1 standard gives cable service providers the opportunity to deploy a whole new suite of sophisticated multimedia and real-time services. Before these services can be deployed, it is important that current data services are able to be migrated from a DOCSIS 1.0 operating environment to a DOCSIS 1.1 operating environment. This paper describes how to convert a functional DOCSIS 1.0 system to a DOCSIS 1.1 and DOCSIS 1.0 hybrid system, and finally, to a totally DOCSIS 1.1?based system. It also discusses commonly used Cisco IOS software commands that have been modified, enhanced, or replaced in DOCSIS 1.1?enabled Cisco IOS software.

whitepaper CDS Internet Streaming: Enabling New Video 2.0 Experiences2007-05-01 Cisco Systems
  Nowadays, cable operators typically either outsource the digital content management using third-party Content Delivery Network (CDN) providers or make use of in-house, proprietary streaming systems. Both of these options have significant disadvantages. Outsourcing the digital asset management results in recurring monthly expenses that become increasingly expensive as service adoption grows. Proprietary systems, meanwhile, only work with specific players and can quickly run into scaling issues.
