Cable operator networks are large expansive networks that involve hundreds if not thousands of miles of
coaxial or fiber cable powered by power supplies in the outside plant and connecting customers to critical
infrastructure facilities such as hubs, headends, data centers, regional, and national distribution
datacenters. In these facilities is a vast array of equipment responsible for the production and support of
the cable operator?s products and services such as voice, video, data, home automation and security, and
Wi-Fi. The importance of powering all of these devices in the critical facilities is ever increasing as the
customer expectation is for 100% availability due to the critical nature of the services being provided to
business and residential customers. This document defines how to use a standard methodology to measure
the density of hardware to meet the needs of optimizing critical space, as well as measuring energy
consumption for the various network element classes. This part of the series focuses on the CMTS,
CCAP, and other related cable operator critical facility equipment.
