  2. Fiber-optic splitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_splitter

    The PLC splitter is a micro-optical element using photolithographic techniques to form optical waveguide at medium or semiconductor substrate for realizing branch distribution function. For example, graded-index silica-glass waveguides could be used to fabricate PLC optical splitters, and the splitting ratio can be simply adjusted during the ...

  3. Hybrid fiber-coaxial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_fiber-coaxial

    In a hybrid fiber-coaxial cable system, television channels are sent from the cable system's distribution facility, the headend, to local communities through optical fiber subscriber lines. At the local community, an optical node translates the signal from a light beam to radio frequency (RF), and sends it over coaxial cable lines for ...

  4. Passive optical network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_optical_network

    A fiber optic cable assembly with SC APC connectors, as commonly used to link optical network terminals to passive optical networks. A passive optical network (PON) is a fiber-optic telecommunications network that uses only unpowered devices to carry signals, as opposed to electronic equipment.

  5. Cable Internet access - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_Internet_access

    In telecommunications, cable Internet access, shortened to cable Internet, is a form of broadband internet access which uses the same infrastructure as cable television. Like digital subscriber line and fiber to the premises services , cable Internet access provides network edge connectivity ( last mile access) from the Internet service ...

  6. Cable modem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_modem

    Example of a cable modem installed in a home office. A cable modem is a type of network bridge that provides bi-directional data communication via radio frequency channels on a hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC), radio frequency over glass (RFoG) and coaxial cable infrastructure.

  7. Fiber to the x - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_to_the_x

    A variant of this technique for cable television providers is used in a hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) system. It is sometimes given the acronym FTTLA (fiber-to-the-last-amplifier) when it replaces analog amplifiers up to the last one before the customer (or neighborhood of customers). FTTC allows delivery of broadband services such as high-speed ...

  8. Cable modem termination system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_modem_termination_system

    A cable modem termination system (CMTS, also called a CMTS Edge Router) [1] is a piece of equipment, typically located in a cable company's headend or hubsite, which is used to provide data services, such as cable Internet or Voice over IP, to cable subscribers.

  9. Power dividers and directional couplers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_dividers_and...

    Directional couplers and power dividers have many applications. These include providing a signal sample for measurement or monitoring, feedback, combining feeds to and from antennas, antenna beam forming, providing taps for cable distributed systems such as cable TV, and separating transmitted and received signals on telephone lines.
