Description
The Cisco Smart PHY models 300 and 600 RPHY (Remote Phy) shelves enables service providers to deploy cBR-8 CCAP services to small-to-medium hubs in a cost effective manner while preparing their networks for future cloud CMTS. The extended operating temperature range enables deployment in outdoor cabinets. An extension of the Modular Headend Architecture, MHAv2 splits CMTS functions so that CCAP core and physical-layer functions can run separately, in different locations. CCAP core routing can run out of larger hubs (or even cloud CMTS instances in a datacenter), while QAM and ODFM modulation are pushed out to Remote PHY shelves located in hubs near the subscribers.
