DOCUMENTATION AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION

1. DOCUMENTATION & BACKGROUND INFORMATION.

1.2. Design Architecture.

1.2.1. The RRS Cable TV System is comprised of coaxial and fiber optic cables and equipment being feed CATV programming from various satellite, antenna and internal sources. All programming originates in the B106TC2A Communications closet. The programming is modulated, based on type, onto SD NTSC, SD QAM and HD QAM CATV channels. These channels are balanced, merged and amplified in the headend assembly and feeds five (5) 1GHz spectrum fiber optic transmitters. The output of these transmitters is carried by fusion spliced single-mode fibers to fiber optic splitters in RRS buildings 2, 3, 3W, and 106 with a direct (un-split) feed to the Gym.

Hanger 101 is an extension of the Building 106 distribution. The fiber optic splitters in each major building fan out to that building’s communications closets. Each closet contains a fiber optic receiver that is padded by an appropriate value multi-way tap feeding the user field of 16-way RF splitters.
