D-CCAP MA5633

The SmartAX MA5633 is mainly used in a passive optical network (PON) + Distribution-CCAP (D-CCAP) network for MSOs, which is connected to the coaxial cable distribution network using an RF port in the upstream direction and connected to an OLT using a PON port in the upstream direction. Such a networking mode supports 1000 Mbit/s access to a building and 100 Mbit/s access to a user's home. Therefore, the network can provide integrated services, including video and voice services that require high bandwidth. The network supports traditional access for home users, as well as new services such as enterprise VPN access and backhaul in hot spots, thereby satisfying the various scenario requirements of MSOs

The MA5633, based on DOCSIS 3.0 and DOCSIS 3.1, is a coaxial media converter (CMC) dedicated to CATV network digitization and upgrade to a bi-directional network. It supports high-bandwidth multi-service access for MSOs. With the MA5633, broadcast and television operators are able to provide services including video on demand (VoD), HDTV, high-speed Internet (HSI), voice, and VPN services for home and enterprise users.

Highlights

• High bandwidth and multi-service: The MA5633 supports: service access to buildings at a rate of 1000 Mbit/s and to user homes at a rate of 100 Mbit/s; a maximum of 16 downstream channels and a maximum of 4 upstream channels. It fully supports PacketCable standards, and provides various services, such as CATV, HSI, VoD, Layer 2 virtual private network (L2VPN), enterprise access, and Wi-Fi hotspot coverage.

• Compatible with hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) live networks: The MA5633 is compatible with cable modems (CMs) and operations support systems (OSSs) on live networks. The MA5633 built-in power amplifier reduces device insertion loss without changing the existing HFC network architecture.

• Centralized management: The MA5633 supports centralized management. Under centralized management, CMCs are managed as OLT PON ports instead of independent NEs, thereby reducing network maintenance operating expense (OPEX).

• High integration: The MA5633 integrates the ONU, CMTS processing module, amplifier, combiner, and optical receiver, simplifying network deployment and maintenance.

• Platform-sharing with FTTx: The D-CCAP platform, architecture, and NMS can be shared by FTTx, which allows MSOs to smoothly upgrade their networks to support FTTH and provide multiple access modes.
