Arris C4 and C4c Cable Modem Termination Systems (CMTS)

The ARRIS C4 CMTS is a high-availability, highly dense DOCSIS 3.0 system designed to deliver the stability and throughput that MSOs require for advanced services. It features a 21 slot chassis with a mid-plane-based architecture designed for continuous system operation. This unique architecture allows the C4 CMTS to provide carrier-grade integrated Layer 3 edge routing, hitless RF sparing, and advanced CMTS functionality in a single chassis.

The ARRIS C4c CMTS is a compact DOCSIS 3.0 platform based on the proven hardware and software of the larger C4 CMTS solution. It allows an operator to cost-effectively deploy DOCSIS, PacketCable, DSG/ADSG, and PacketCable Multimedia (PCMM) services in small-to-medium size headends where space and power are often limited. The C4c CMTS supports DOCSIS 1.1/2.0/3.0 and PacketCable features, providing operators with a large array of Quality of Service capabilities to deploy revenue-generating services. Both AC-powered and DC-powered options are available.

The following modules are supported:
• System Control Module (SCM), including support for the SCM II, SCM II EM, SCM II EM(U), and SCM 3
• Router Control Module (RCM)
• Downstream and Upstream Cable Access Modules (CAMs) — 16D CAM, XD CAM, 12U CAM, 24U CAM
