DCAM 2
Downstream Cable Access Module 2 for the E6000
Discontinued
The DCAM-2 is an integral component of the second generation (known as “Gen 2”) set of line cards for the E6000 CER. DCAM-2 provides a total of 16 physical ports per slot, delivering a 2x improvement in DS-SG as compared to the Gen 1 DCAM.
For each of these 16 physical ports, DCAM-2 supports a downstream RF band up to 1.2 GHz. In addition, DCAM-2 is capable of supporting multiple 192 MHz OFDM channels per port.
Features:
- 16 Physical Ports per Module (requires DPIC-2)
- Full Spectrum Capable (108 MHz to 1218 MHz)
- DCAM-2 Hardware Capable of Up to Four (4) Output Blocks per Port (Support in Software Determined by Release)
- SC-QAM Output Block Supports Up to 32 SC-QAMs (Annex B) or 24 SC-QAMs (Annex A)
- OFDM Output Block 192 MHz Wide
- 48 SC-QAMs (Max 32 DOCSIS / EuroDOCSIS) plus 192 MHz OFDM per Port in Rel. 5.0
- 48 DOCSIS SC-QAM maximum per Port in Rel. 5.0 (Annex B, without IEQ or OFDM)
- Additional SC-QAM and / or OFDM Density per Port in Later Releases (No Hardware Changes Required)
- Downstream MAC Processing for Remote PHY Operation on the E6000 CER Acting as a CCAP Core (Future Software Upgrade)
