Multimedia Line Equalizer/Reverse Conditioner (LEQ/RC), shown in
Figure 1, improves network performance on both the forward and reverse paths in a
coaxial transmission system.
coaxial transmission system.
In the forward path, the fixed forward equalizer offsets undesirable down-tilt associated with cumulative cable and
passive losses, allowing tap port RF levels to be maintained within desired design limits, even at taps located near
the ends of lines.
In the reverse path, plug-in attenuation allows RF levels to be conditioned for optimal performance of critical
reverse path services. By selectively adding reverse attenuation at Cisco Multimedia LEQ/RC locations, the range
of RF levels transmitted from closed-loop customer premises equipment in a given service area can be narrowed
considerably.
With greater percentages of devices, such as high-speed data and telephony modems, transmitting in the upper
end of their RF transmit ranges, improvements in carrier-to-ingress and carrier-to-noise performance can be
realized.
