DOCSIS Network Overview
$300.00
This is an e-learning course. Students get access to the content for 6 months.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Students taking the DOCSIS Network Overview training course will learn about DOCSIS basics and the physical network it runs on.
COURSE OVERVIEW:
Students enrolled in the DOCSIS Network Overview training course will learn about DOCSIS basics, modem operations, and the digital modulation schemes employed by DOCSIS. The Hybrid Fiber/Coax (HFC) network, which DOCSIS runs on in a cabled world, is also explored. The course provides a foothold to a deeper dive into DOCSIS.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
Upon completing this course, students will be able to:
- Discuss how upstream RF levels are determined and maintained, and the impact of operating modems in a shared network.
- Explain how the DOCSIS modem operates in the transmission path
- Describe the role of cable and connectors in a distribution system
- List and describe the role of passive signal transmission components in a distribution system
- Describe different distribution system amplifiers and identify basic amplifier components
- Explain basic system powering theory, identify power supply components and basic operation, and describe underground and aerial installations
- Describe how a ring architecture using fiber-optic cable can maintain reliability
- Recognize the HFC progressions that have brought fiber-optic cable closer to the customer premises
- Understand why the broadband cable industry is developing its own PON (passive optical network) standard
- Describe the primary digital modulation schemes used in broadband cable networks
COURSE OUTLINE:
- Considering DOCSIS in the Network
- Obtaining DOCSIS Single Carrier RF Operating Parameters
- Examining Distribution System Equipment
- The Evolving HFC Network
- Describing Digital Modulation Schemes
