C40G | C40G Converged Cable Access Platform

The CommScope C40G is a scaled-down version of the C100G CMTS that offers a medium-density architecture in a 6-slot, 6RU rack-mountable platform. The C40G supports full DOCSIS® 3.1E, 3.1, and 3.0 (backward compatibility) with integrated MPEG video Edge-QAM technology to create the first integrated Converged Cable Access Platform (I-CCAP) platform for combining data and digital video into a single hardware solution.

By combining CMTS and video QAM technology into a single platform, cable service providers can maximize both power and the physical space requirements for equipment positioned at the cable headend. The system can be deployed as a full I-CCAP with BDM2m modules, providing full redundancy and failover support.

As an I-CCAP, DOCSIS CMTS and video edge QAM services are configured separately when there are no overlapping channels. The system checks to ensure that each QAM channel is operating for either DOCSIS or video. However, DOCSIS and video traffic can share the same network side interface (NSI) over separate VLANs.

Business Advantages

• Experience: Support for DS/US DOCSIS, Video, Switch and Management modules.
• Grow: Extend the life of the chassis utilizing the legacy DS 8x192 card and the new BDM2m for DOCSIS 3.1E; improve the bandwidth for subscribers for years to come.
• Reduce: Realize the proven, significant reduction in OPEX.
• Conserve: See drops in costs and energy consumption with a fully loaded 6RU chassis that consumes <2kW; deliver video and data at 99.999% availability over a single port shrinking space and power requirements.

Additional Key Features

• DOCSIS 3.1E
