Description
Fully updated, revised, and expanded, this second edition of Modern Cable Television Technology addresses the significant changes undergone
by cable since 1999--including, most notably, its continued transformation from a system for delivery of television to a scalable-bandwidth
platform for a broad range of communication services. It provides in-depth coverage of high speed data transmission, home networking,
IP-based voice, optical dense wavelength division multiplexing, new video compression techniques, integrated voice/video/data transport,
and much more.
Intended as a day-to-day reference for cable engineers, this book illuminates all the technologies involved in building
and maintaining a cable system. But it's also a great study guide for candidates for SCTE certification, and its careful explanations
will benefit any technician whose work involves connecting to a cable system or building products that consume cable services.
Audience
cable engineers, telecom engineers, computer network engineers, and consumer electronics engineers
