Description
Technical Specifications

The Cisco® RF Gateway Downstream 384 (RFGW-DS384) line card is an 8-port, 384-channel universal edge quadrature amplitude modulation (U-EQAM) modulator designed for operation in the Cisco RF Gateway 10 platform. The Cisco RF Gateway Downstream 384 Universal Edge QAM Line Card provides dramatically increased density and functionality as compared to the Cisco RF Gateway DS48-1G Universal Edge QAM Line Card.

The Cisco RFGW-DS384 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 DOCSIS only, video only, or DOCSIS and video shared universal edge QAM.
