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 Comedy Central Intranet Was Designed to Enhance Internal Communication Within a Leading Cable TV Network0000-00-00 Microsoft
  Comedy Central is located at 1775 Broadway, 10th Floor New York, NY 10019. Contact Information: Keith Agabob, Director, Business Process Improvement. With multiple floors in its New York headquarters, plus multiple regional offices around the country, Comedy Central was having trouble keeping its 250 employees up-to-date on both day to-day and momentous information. Because of the network's fast-paced environment, manual maintenance of the corporate-wide calendar and phone lists resulted in updates that were too infrequent to inform people of important events and new hires. The need for more timely internal communications had ceased to be a laughing matter for Comedy Central. As a solution corporate intranet was designed to enhance internal communication within a leading cable TV network.

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.

whitepaper A Path to Ultra Broadband: Motorola Cable PON2007-05-01 Motorola
  Cable operators are increasingly competing with telecommunications carriers, and the winners in the long-term will be those service providers that build the infrastructure capacity to deliver Ultra-Broadband services. Commonly defined as greater than 50 Mbps symmetrical throughput, Ultra-Broadband solutions such as Fiber-To-The-Premises (FTTP) for the home, business, or Multi-Dwelling Units (MDU5) can easily service today's broadband needs and gracefully scale to Ultra-Broadband access networks that support hundreds of megabits of symmetrical throughput to each subscriber. Motorola offers the products and services that provide cable operators the ability to deploy fiber deeper into the network and deliver higher-speed services. This white paper provides an overview of approach to FTTP solutions for cable operators.

whitepaper Premiere Service Provider Increases Value Added Revenue and Enhances Broadband Experience by Bundling D-Link Home Networking Solutions2007-04-24 D-Link
  One of the significant differences in the Broadband National approach to selling services is their solution-oriented approach with consumers. They understand broadband Internet access is a powerful tool when used to its fullest potential and Internet access is only one piece of the total technology solution puzzle. Broadband National's core business of broadband service installation requires the deployment of DSL and cable customer premise equipment. D-Link was able to offer Broadband National extensive experience in working with service providers to deploy data services using D-Link modems and routers as Customer Premise Equipment (CPE). Broadband National chose the D-Link DCM-202 High Speed DOCSIS 2.0 cable modem as the CPE for data services they sold on the Comcast cable network.

whitepaper Alien Crosstalk: Measuring in the Field Is Important - How Is It Done Today?2007-03-01 Solarflare Communications
  In this paper, the author provides the latest information on alien crosstalk field measurements and to begin to frame the discussion on why it is important, when one should consider alien crosstalk field measurements, and how to measure it. Further related topics worth discussion are time trials for the testing operations versus the test equipment deployment including use of additional stimulators and understanding the 10GBASE-T alien margin computation pass/fail criteria versus the alien crosstalk limit lines pass/fail criteria.

whitepaper Advanced PHY Layer Technologies for High Speed Data Over Cable2007-01-04 Cisco Systems
  This paper highlights the major differences between DOCSIS 2.0 and earlier versions, and discusses advantages of deploying the advanced PHY technology available nowadays. This paper summarizes numerous field and lab tests that demonstrate how Cable Modem Termination Systems (CMTSs) and cable modems using advanced PHY silicon perform in the presence of impairments. Also discussed is the fact that a number of advanced PHY features benefit existing DOCSIS 1.0 and 1.1 cable modems. Many advanced PHY functions - for instance, ingress cancellation - occur in the CMTS and are modem agnostic. That means it is not necessary to replace older modems with new DOCSIS 2.0 modems to reap some of the benefits of advanced PHY.

whitepaper Cable Verification for Power Over Ethernet: Ensuring Service Success2007-01-01 Fluke
  IP and Ethernet link the world. This ubiquitous connectivity supports the services that let businesses do more and be more efficient. Some of the newest and most exciting are Voice over IP (VoIP) telephony, wireless LANs, network-based security and mobile data capture. These services add devices to the enterprise network, but often in locations where there is no power. A solution is to install 110/220 VAC outlets at every potential location for VoIP phones, wireless access points, webcams, RFID readers, etc. In the real world, this is impossible due to cost, aesthetics and structure. The networking industry understood this challenge and addressed it in an IEEE standard, 802.3af.
