Enabling MSO Advanced
Services Delivery
Today’s MSO customers are
demanding always-on service
without exception.
While the telecommunications industry has long
targeted 99.999% (five nines) service availability,
CATV has traditionally been more ‘relaxed’ in its
commitment to always-on availability. That attitude
has changed. MSOs have become dedicated to
reducing service downtime. They are focusing
on scalability, requiring the ability to grow their
systems, without major rebuilds. Flexibility and ease
of expansion are also high on the list, as they're
essential for continued growth.
At ADC, we know the value that MSOs place on
providing high-quality service to subscribers. We
know that each and every deployment is crucial,
that integration is extremely difficult and that it
takes a tremendous amount of resources to provide
always-on service without exception every time.

ADC’s commitment to strengthening MSO advanced services delivery:
RF Signal Management
As networks are reconfigured and take-rates fluctuate,
RF signal management becomes critical to provide high-
quality solutions for your headend design needs. ADC's
RF Worx
®
SignalOn
®

Series platform enables operators to
reconfigure and balance the network without disrupting
high-value traffic. Featuring patented "make-before-break"
hitless attenuation technology and best-in-class technical
specifications, the RF Worx platform is central to a finely
tuned yet flexible network infrastructure. All products
feature excellent RF performance, quality and reliability. ADC
also has products for the RF network that enable MSOs
to add and expand services quickly and maintain RF signal
quality, in a true end-to-end broadband solution.
AV Management
ADC offers a complete line of accessories to accompany our
audio and video patch panels and other products, including
patch cords, connectors, designation strip kits and many
other items. ADC offers two lines of very high-quality video
patch cords: the patented ST
™
series capable of handling
uncompressed high-definition digital video and the VX™
series for analog and serial digital video
Data Management
Historically, MSOs only had a small number of data cables
in the headend, mostly connecting computers to the
network. But today, IP-based data is a large part of the
headend, especially to provide high-speed Internet services.
Because of the increased demand for high-speed data, cable
management solutions must be incorporated for structured
cabling solutions. Offering data-based services requires
the cable operator to transport traffic from the Internet
Service Providers to each server and onto the cable modem

transport system (CMTS) to customers. As with other
areas of the ideal headend, the data-center portion of the
network must be completely flexible and scalable. In fact,
data delivery has become so important to today’s MSOs, the
ideal headend is beginning to transition from just housing
RF signal management equipment into resembling an actual
data center. Ethernet-based data services offer MSOs the
opportunity to create differentiation, command premium
pricing and earn higher margin for such value-added data
services as transparent LANs.
Circuit-to-Packet Telephony Solution
For over 60 years, ADC has provided innovative, high-
quality solutions for twisted pair and coax-based DS1
and DS3 networks, ensuring a robust, flexible network.
Cable congestion can compromise network integrity;
ADC’s DSX-1 and DSX-3 products ensure proper cable
routing and simplify routine testing and maintenance.This
contributes directly to the reliability and functionality of
the network and controlling operational costs. In a typical
cable system, circuit-switched telephony is accomplished
by headend equipment that “talks” to a telephone switch
at a telephone company’s central office. However, with the
advent of IP telephony, those systems are rapidly migrating
to some form of packetized transport. Telephony is exiting
the days of circuit switching and entering the new world of
packetized switching and routing.
Power Distribution
Building a future-proof headend begins with ensuring you
have the necessary power distribution facilities in place to
support new equipment and services. The type of power

required will be determined by the services to be delivered
across the system. However, MSOs planning to deliver
telephony services over IP (which include lifeline or E-911
services) will have to change their power structure. Fusing
power to active network elements such as the CMTS,
amplifiers, laser transmitters and return path receivers is
crucial in maintaining consistent and safe operation of the
DC-powered gear. ADC PowerWorx
®
products distribute DC
power and provide protection for critical network gear.
Next Generation Network Solutions for the MSO Market
Deep Fiber Deployment
New FTTP technologies require a new approach to the
outside plant. There is more fiber to manage; there is
greater need for physical layer access; and the network
must be designed for future expansion and upgrades.
Deploying a successful FTTP network requires careful
planning and execution. Taking FTTP networks from the
lab/field trial mode to full-scale network deployment
presents many significant challenges for service
providers. One of these challenges is deploying the
network for the of best possible cost, while creating
a fiber network infrastructure that has the flexibility
and reliability to last long into the future. ADC’s
OmniReach™ FTTP Infrastructure Solutions are the
industry’s first platforms designed from the ground up
to meet the unique requirements of FTTP networks.
Fiber Management
The ideal headend will be designed not only to enable

cable operators the flexibility to add new subscribers,
but also easily reconfigure the network to adapt to
customer churn. Fiber-cable management is broken
down into a few key principles, the first of which is
to develop clear routing paths that are obvious to any
technician at a glance. In other words, routing the fiber
correctly should be intuitive and easily accomplished.
ADC’s industry-standard fiber distribution frames and
panel products provide the ultimate environment to
protect fiber cables. MSOs can alleviate cable congestion
concerns by implementing a cable-management system
to manage and store excess fibers. These components
encourage proper cable management and preserve
signal and network integrity.
Consulting and Support
There may be instances when your organization needs
assistance with network builds and upgrades. ADC’s
unique experience in multivendor, multitechnology
and multiservice solutions makes ADC the ideal
choice for projects that require an in-depth, hands-
on understanding of simple to complex network
environments.
