Abstract :
Today´s modern cable systems already have some fiber mixed in with the coax, but they are still mainly one-way broadcast networks. In order to support the near term future needs of wideband, reliable two way networks; today´s networks must evolve. This paper explores the nature of the evolution and the resulting hybrid fiber coax architectures
