A type of distribution plant that utilizes fiber optics to carry service from a CO to the carrier serving area, then coaxial cable within the CSA to or close to the individual residences.
Hybrid Fibre-Coaxial. A high-speed Internet access technology not yet employed by the Sympatico service.
The cables under the streets in most of the UK. Using a special cable modem they provide very swift internet access (faster than ISDN) as well as multiple TV channels and telephone lines. Stands for hybrid fibre-optical/coaxial). Available from cable TV companies e.g. Telewest, ntl.
Hybrid Fiber Coax - This network contains both fiber optics and also copper coaxial cables. The fiber optics carry TV signal and then convert them to electrical signals to go to coaxial cables.
Hybrid Fiber Coax. Refers to a CATV network which consists of fiber optic infrastructure from the CATV operator to a neighborhood hub and coaxial cables from the hub down to subscribers' homes. Also see CATV.
hybrid fiber-coaxial cable. Distribution cabling concept using both fiber-optic and coaxial cable. Older CATV systems were provisioned using only coaxial cable. Modern systems use fiber transport from the headend to an optical node located in the neighborhood to reduce system noise. Coaxial cable runs from the node to the subscriber. The fiber plant is generally a star configuration with all optical node fibers terminating at a headend. The coaxial cable part of the system is generally a trunk-and-branch configuration.
Hybrid Fiber Coax is a network comprising of fiber-optic backbone connected to coaxial cable that connects subscribers homes.
A hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) network is a telecommunication technology in which optical fiber cable and coaxial cable are used in different portions of a network to carry broadband content (such as video, data, and voice).
Hybrid Fiber over Coax Networks. Network topology typically used by the Cable TV industry where they run fiber optic cable from their head-end to strategic distribution locations in the network where the fiber cable is then interconnected to coaxial cable that is connected to the subscriber's residence of business office.
High-band Fiber-optic Cable; Hybrid Fiber/Coax
A type of cable that can carry large amounts of bandwidth over long distances. Cable TV and cable modem service both utilize this cable.
A network architecture that consists of fiber in the backbone network and coaxial cable in the access network. HFC can be used to provide high-speed network service to the home for applications such as video.
Hybrid Fiber Coax When the cable companies wanted to start providing services that required more bandwidth than their coaxial cable networks could handle, they laid fiber and the resulting networks were referred to as HFC.
A technology that allows optical fiber cable and coaxial cable to be used in different portions of a network to carry broadband content, such as video, data and voice.
Hybrid Fiber Coax. Any network that combines coaxial cable and fiber optic line. The question is usually, "How close to the home to you take the fiber?" The result is several network structures such as FTTH (fiber to the home), FTTC (fiber to the curb), FTTP (fiber to the pole), and FTTH (fiber to the hub).
Hybrid Fibre Coax: a system (usually CATV) where fiber is run to a distribution point close to the subscriber and then the signal is converted to run to the subscriber's premises over coaxial cable.
Hybrides Glasfaser-/Koaxialkabel Netzwerk
(hybrid fibre coax) is a broadband access network architecture in which, initially, optical fibre is used to bring the signal closer to the customer's neighbourhood, and then coaxial cable is used to deliver signals to the customer's premises. Such hybrid fibre coax network topology is commonly used in contemporary cable networks for delivering video, Internet and VoIP signals.
Hybrid-fiber/coaxial, the second-generation connection technology used by the cable TV industry to bring higher bandwidths to its original coaxial cable networks. The fiber is optical fiber that brings high-speed connections into neighborhoods and makes delivering suitable bandwidth for digital TV, HDTV and cable modem service possible.
Hybrid fibre/ coax Close this window
Hybrid Fibre Coax. A cable television network is upgraded to a network of both coaxial cables and fibre cables, as well as fibre nodes, to make broadband Internet service possible on the network.
Hybrid Fiber Coax (TV and broadcast. The last 100 meters to the home are coaxial cable, the remainder is fiber)
Hybrid-fiber Coaxial. A technology being developed by the cable TV industry to provide two-way, high-speed data access using a combination of fiber optics and traditional coaxial cable.
(Hybrid Fiber Coax) is a distribution network commonly used for Cable Television. The cable segments closer to the headend are optical fiber, while those closer to the customer are coaxial cable. The transition point from fiber to coax varies, and in many places, fiber is extended further into the network in successive upgrades. The signal is normally modulated onto an RF carrier throughout the system. Thus, HFC networks allow the physical medium to be upgraded without changing the signal format or capabilities. HomeRF
A networking arrangement that supports a wide range of services, including traditional telephony, broadcast video, and interactive broadband services. It involves the use of fiber in the backbone and in the access network. The fiber terminates at a neighborhood node, and from that neighborhood node, coax (normally 750MHz or 1,000MHz) is run to the home, in a two-way subsplit system.
A transmission system or cable construction (illustrated) that incorporates both fiber optic transmission components and copper coax transmission components.
