Fiber Backbone: A Proposal For An Evolutionary CATV Network Architecture (1988)

By James A. Chiddix, David M. Pangrac, American Television and Communications Corporation

A hybrid optical fiber/coaxial cable CATV system architecture Is described. The architecture Is Intended to be an evolutionary one, building on existing coaxial CATV networks. A variety of approaches to the electro-optical equipment needed to realize such a system are described. Both short term operating benefits and longer term strategic advantages to the approach are explored and the conclusion Is dr.awn that the approach meets both technical and economic needs of the CATV Industry.
