QUALITY ASSURANCE
1.6.1
Wiring Diagrams and Installation Details
Illustrate how each item of equipment functions in the system and include
an overall system schematic indicating the relationship of CATV units on
one diagram. Drawings shall include wiring diagrams and installation
details of equipment indicating proposed locations, layout and
arrangements, and other items that must be shown to ensure coordinated
installation.
1.6.2
CATV System Loss Calculations
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Use second bracketed option in the first
sentence for systems that include amplifiers.
**************************************************************************
Calculations shall verify that the system does not exceed the loss values
specified in dBmV at the [receiver terminations][input of all active
devices and the receiver terminations]. Provide a drawing displaying all
distribution network calculations. The drawing should accurately show
taps, splitters, outlets, and the type and length of all [trunk, feeder,
and ]drop cables. The drawing shall show how many taps, splitters, or
outlets are served by each tap or splitter.
1.6.3
Operational Test Plan
**************************************************************************
NOTE: The test methods in Parts I and II of the
NCTA recommended practices are used to establish
proper operating parameters during initial setup and
alignment. They are also used to verify proper
operation of a unit following a needed repair. Only
a few of the tests can be used during normal
operations of a CATV system without interruption to
the system or the specific channel under test.
**************************************************************************
Test plan shall define tests required to ensure that the system meets
