Fiber Trunk And Feeder -- The Continuing Evolution (1990)
By David M. Pangrac and Louis D. Williamson, American Television and Communications Corporation
Cable Television technology has been in a constant state of evolution since the first crude mountain top installation many years ago.
Since the beginning of this industry, we have seen the introduction of hard line coaxial cable, solid state amplifiers, directional taps, satellite delivered programs, addressable converters and, in 1988, the introduction of the "Fiber Backbone" architecture which made use of VSBAM modulated optics and a significant amount of fiber optic cable.
This paper will focus on ATC's evolution of the "Fiber Backbone" into the new "Fiber Trunk and Feeder" architecture designed for new builds and rebuilds.
The basic concept will be examined as well as the technical specifications.
