Data Sheet 

Cisco RF Gateway Downstream 48-1G Universal 
Edge QAM Line Card 

Product Overview 

The Cisco

®

 RF Gateway Downstream 48-1G Universal Edge QAM Line Card is a 12-port, 48-channel universal 

edge quadrature amplitude modulation (UEQAM) modulator designed for operation in the Cisco RF Gateway 10 

platform. This line card is very similar in function to the standalone Cisco RF Gateway 1 Universal Edge QAM 

product, but the Cisco RF Gateway 10 can accommodate up 10x the density of the Cisco RF Gateway 1. 

The Cisco RF Gateway Downstream 48-1G UEQAM line card offers concurrent support for standard and high-

definition digital broadcast television, switched digital video (SDV), video-on-demand (VoD), and DOCSIS

®

 modular 

cable modem termination system (M-CMTS

™

) services. Cable operators can choose to configure the line card as a 

DOCSIS only, video only, or DOCSIS and video shared universal edge QAM. 

In the 10-slot Cisco RF Gateway 10 platform, RF Gateway Downstream 48-1G UEQAM line cards (Figure 1) can 

be configured with 1:N redundancy (up to 1:9), resulting in a fully protected, high-capacity, and highly dense edge 

QAM solution. For video services, the line cards can accept multiple formats of video content and provide a wide 

range of video processing features. Leading-edge RF technology is used to perform QAM modulation and 

RF upconversion, at significant space and power savings compared to existing upconverter architectures.
