Introduction
Driven by market evolution towards triple-play services, cable operators in emerging markets are seeking
standardized and digital fiber-based solutions for economical and future proof access technologies. Much of
the demand is driven by the need to provide higher bandwidth packet transport for Internet connectivity, video
and voice services.
Data Over Cable Systems Interface Standard (DOCSIS®) is a standardized technology for services over cable
and thus has strong interoperability between system providers. It also provides robust Quality of Service (QoS)
methods, ensuring packet delivery during periods of network congestion. Traditionally, DOCSIS runs on
linear fiber (or HFC) to provide service and is not naturally applicable for digital fiber. Cisco has bridged the
gap by introducing a new access technology called the Remote PHY.
Existing Architecture
In the emerging markets, most triple-play consumers live in multi-tenant buildings (referred to as Multi
Dwelling Units or MDU) with the number of residents usually being less than 500 residents per building or
cluster. These buildings are typically served by fiber with one of several “final 100 meter” technologies
installed in the buildings. These technologies include fiber, twisted pair, Ethernet, and coaxial. Cable operators
have access to the cable in the building and use this cable for their services. Several technologies exist for
enabling two-way services over cable. These include a number of proprietary and vendor-specific methods.
However, a standards-based approach to using cable is typically preferred by operators, since this ensures
vendor interoperability.

Need for the Cisco Remote PHY Solution
DOCSIS and EuroDOCSIS are standards that define two-way operation over a cable network. DOCSIS
provides the necessary Quality of Service (QoS) tools for ensuring voice call connectivity during periods of
network congestion that are anticipated in triple-play networks. DOCSIS is a robust and mature technology
for voice, video, and IP video services.
The Cisco Remote PHY solution leverages existing IP technologies like Ethernet PON (EPON), Gigabit-capable
Passive Optical Networks (GPON), and Metro Ethernet (MetroE) equipment; it deploys DOCSIS in MDUs
over digital fiber to enable two-way services over cable.

connected with the Cisco GS7000 node by configuring it using the card cBR-CCAP-LC-40G r-phy
command.
• CBR-CCAP-LC-40G-R—This RF line card with no downstream and upstream PHY modules can be
connected with the Cisco GS7000 node and Remote PHY Shelf 7200. For more information, see Cisco
cBR Series Converged Cable Access Platform 40G Remote PHY Line Card Data Sheet
.
Cisco Digital Physical Interface Card
The Cisco Digital Physical Interface Card (DPIC) transmits and receives RF signals between the subscriber
and headend over the hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) system and is DOCSIS-compliant. This interface card is
designed specifically for the Cisco cBR router. The PID is cBR-DPIC-8X10G. For more information, see
Cisco cBR Series 8x10G Remote PHY Digital Physical Interface Card Data Sheet.
The DPIC is installed in the CMTS and connected to the Cisco GS7000 node via the EPON, GPON, or Metro
Ethernet. It supports both downstream and upstream traffic. Both the downstream and upstream traffic share
the same ports.
