Overview of Cisco RF Gateway 10 UEQAM Platform
The Cisco RFGW-10 is a carrier-class Universal Edge QAM (UEQAM) platform that offers concurrent support for standard and high-definition digital broadcast television, Switched Digital Video (SDV), Video on Demand (VoD), and DOCSIS/Modular CMTS services. It is a chassis-based product based on open standards with superior performance, capacity, power consumption, ease of management, and scalability. All components of the Cisco RFGW-10 are designed for high availability, including dual Supervisor and Ethernet switching line cards, 1:N Universal Edge QAM line cards, dual timing, communication and control (TCC) line cards, dual load balancing and load sharing DC PEMs and integrated RF switching modules.
The Cisco RFGW-10 is a centralized switching architecture leveraged from the Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series switches. The Cisco RFGW-10 is a 13-rack unit, modular chassis designed for providing front-to-back airflow and system-level redundancy. All chassis components are hot-swappable and redundant. The chassis supports “wire-once” cabling for RF line cards and an integrated dual-zone RF switch matrix. The Supervisor Engine 7-E provides robust Layer 2 to Layer 4 switching with up to 848 Gbps, and up to 250 Mbps packet throughput
