Cabling DOCSIS and EuroDOCSIS Modules 101
The ports on DOCSIS and EuroDOCSIS modules use high performance RF
connectors. Using a cable with a male connector of incorrect dimensions
may cause physical damage. The center conductor diameter must be less
than 34 mil (.85mm) and shorter than 125 mil (3.1mm) measuring from the
edge of the connector.
To cable a slot for DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS module operation:
1. Attach the upstream coaxial cables to the upstream F connectors located
on the CMTS backplate, as shown in Figure 5-6. Upstream connectors are
labelled R1-R6 on the backplate. If you are cabling slot 1, the upstream
connectors are the first 6 ports counting down from the top of the
backplate. The torque specification for attaching a coaxial cable to the F
connector is 30 in-lb.
2. Ensure that the other end of the upstream cables that you have
connected are properly attached to the HFC network.
3. Attach the downstream coaxial cable to the downstream F connector(s)
on the CMTS backplate, as shown in Figure 5-6. The torque specification
for attaching a coaxial cable to the F connector is 30 in-lb.
4. Ensure that the other end of the downstream cable is properly attached
to the HFC network.
