Foreword
This Technical Report (TR) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Access, Terminals, Transmission and
Multiplexing (ATTM).
Introduction
The present document provides references to published standards that present information about the in home network
cables and installations for the delivery of integrated broadband and cable television services. Further revisions of the
present document are expected to present best practices for the in home network cables and installations as developed
by the cable sector such as through the knowledge sharing within SCTE [i.23] and the experiences as adopted widely by
Cable Operators.
The present document examines relevant standards that provide information about the in-home cabling and installation
for connectivity between the Cable Operators network termination point (NTP) and customers premises equipment
(CPE).
Cable Network Operators RF signal is delivered to the customers premises terminated by what is generally described in
the market as a 'wall plate' and is the NTP for the cable side.
The customers in home network is that part of the installation between the NTP and CPE.
At the NTP a 'wall plate' is installed by the Cable Operator to enable connectivity of customers FM radio service, TV
service and internet service via 3 ports, an FM port, TV port and Data port respectively.
The in home cable and installations are described by CENELEC and SCTE [i.23] standards.
