Overview
The Cisco RF Gateway 10 (RFGW-10) is a Carrier Class Universal Edge Quadrature Amplitude
Modulation (UEQAM) platform that offers concurrent support for Standard and High Definition Digital
Broadcast Television, Switched Digital Video (SDV), Video on Demand (VoD), and DOCSIS/Modular
CMTS services.

The Cisco RFGW-10 UEQAM is a chassis based product that is based on open standards with superior
performance, capacity, power consumption, ease of management and scalability. All components of the
Cisco RFGW-10 UEQAM are designed for high availability including dual Supervisor and Ethernet
switching line cards, 1:N Universal Edge QAM line cards, dual Timing and Control line cards, dual load
balancing and load sharing DC PEM and integrated RF switching modules.

The Cisco RFGW-10 is targeted to the Cable Operators worldwide, and is optimized for operators
requiring carrier class high availability solutions and wanting to collapse video and data over cable
EQAM systems into common platform. A collapsed Universal EQAM architecture achieves the
following business benefits; EQAM resource utilization gains, cost efficiencies, rack space optimization,
reduced cost and complexity of management, and high availability for all services. The Cisco RFGW-10
is part of the Cisco’s Cable ecosystem, and is fully integrated and tested as part of the Cisco Digital
Broadband Delivery System (DBDS) video solution and Cisco uBR10012 DOCSIS 3.0 and Modular
CMTS solution.

The Cisco RFGW-10 is a centralized switching architecture leveraged from the Cisco® Catalyst® 4500
Series switches. The Cisco RFGW-10 is a 13RU Carrier class, modular chassis designed for providing
front to back airflow and system level redundancy. All chassis components are hot-swappable and
redundant. The chassis supports “wire-once” cabling for RF line cards and an integrated dual-zone RF
switch matrix. The supervisor engine provides non-blocking, robust Layer 2-4 switching with the
addition of wire-speed 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplinks, 136Gbps capacity and 102mpps packet throughput.

The Cisco RFGW-10 system is a UEQAM that supports both upstream and downstream RF cards over a
frequency range of 5MHz – 1.2GHz. The initial line card release is a UEQAM downstream card that
supports the DOCSIS (1.0/2.0/3.0), the EURODOCIS, and J-DOCSIS specifications. Additionally, the
card supports High Definition Digital Broadcast Television, Switched Digital Video (SDV), Video on
Demand (VoD) video delivery.
