2. The forward path signal in a traditional originates at the headend and is
tree-and-branch architecture transmitted downstream through coaxial
trunk cable and trunk amplifier.
3. In a HFC network, Processing equipment in the headend
converts the forward RF signal to a light
signal.
4. During aerial plant construction, The strand is tensioned so its sag profile
matches that of the overhead utility pow-
er lines.
5. With underground plant construction, The fiber-optic and coaxial cables are of-
ten places underground with other utility
lines to jointly share construction costs.
6. Standby power supplies continue providing an output voltage
even during a utility power outage by
using a back up power source.
7. Centralized power configurations provide the advantage of increased relia-
bility through sharing of expensive back-
up generators and sophisticated moni-
toring equipment among different pow-
er realms.
