ETSI’s Technical Committee on integrated broadband cable telecommunication networks (TC CABLE) leads the development of ETSI deliverables relating to broadband cable and television networks using hybrid fiber coaxial technology.
ETSI TC CABLE is responsible for the creation, development and maintenance of standards related to integrated broadband cable telecommunication network technologies including:
The cable industry is a global market and therefore ETSI’s cable standards are developed to align to the extent possible with standards either already developed or under development in other regions.
The ETSI specifications are consistent to the extent possible with the CableLabs® set of specifications and with deliverables published by the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE). In many of its activities TC CABLE leverages close relationships with SCTE, CENELEC and ITU-T.
ETSI is hosting standards for the core technology components and communication platforms deployed in HFC networks such as DOCSIS®. Recently, TC CABLE achieved another milestone on standards for broadband cable network technology with the publication of a multi-part specification [ES 203 811 series] for the fourth-generation transmission systems for interactive cable television services (IP cable modem) – DOCSIS® 4.0.
An ongoing focus of TC CABLE is work on energy management for cable networks. A European Norm [EN 305 200-4-4] that specifies the requirements for global KPIs for energy management was published and heavily used.
