Cisco uBR924 Cable Access Router Data Specifications
Description
Frequency Range
Modulation
Data Rate
Bandwidth
FEC
Signal-to-Noise Ratio
(SNR)
OL-0338-01 (3/2000)
Downstream Values
88 to 860 MHz
64 QAM
256 QAM
30 Mbps/64 QAM
(27 Mbit/sec after FEC overhead)
42.8 Mbps/256 QAM
(36 Mbit/sec after FEC overhead)
6 MHz
RS (122, 128) Trellis
64 QAM:
>23.5 dB @ BER<10^8
256 QAM*:
>30 dB @ BER <10^-8
(For input level between +15 and -8 dBmV,
SNR must be greater than 30 dB. For input
level between -8 and -15 dBmV, SNR must be
greater than 33 dB.)
Note
These performance numbers are in
laboratory-controlled conditions,
against statistically pure noise
sources (AWGN). Since such
conditions do not exist in practise, a
6 or more dB SNR margin is required
for reliable operation. Check with
your local system guidelines.
Upstream Values
5 to 42 MHz
QPSK
16 QAM
QPSK—320 Kbit/sec to 5 Mbit/sec
16 QAM—640 Kbit/sec to 10 Mbit/sec
200K, 400K, 800K, 1.6M,
3.2 MHz
QPSK:
>15 dB @ BER<10^-8
(QPSK will work at 98% successful ping rate for
SNR>13 dB. An SNR of 15 dB will be needed to
get almost optimal packets per minute transition.)
16 QAM:
>22 dB @ BER <10^-8
(For 16 QAM, an SNR>22 dB makes the grade for
98% ping efficiency. To get good packet rate, you
need SNR>25 dB)
These measurements were done for 0 and
Note
-10 dBmV input to the CMTS, 1280
ksym/sec and 64 bytes packet size with a
Cisco uBR904 and laboratory-controlled
conditions.
