**************************************************************************
NOTE: This specification is written for
bidirectional devices operating from 5 to 40 MHz and
from 50 to 1000 MHz. The lower end, 5 to 40 MHz
provides an active return path and allows ordering
of pay-per-view, cable modem and communication back
to the CATV system provider. The 50 to 1000 MHz
provides one-way communication to the user's
service. Passive devices are rated 1000 MHz since
they require more work if upgrading of the system is
required in the future. Active devices such as
amplifiers are easier to change out, and thus are
rated for the current normal operating requirement
of a minimum of 750 MHz. Coordinate with the cable
service provider to ensure these specifications meet
their minimum requirements for CATV service.

2.1
ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT
Electronic components of similar type shall be produced and designed by the
same manufacturer as major components of the equipment and shall have the
manufacturer's name and model permanently attached. Equipment shall
function properly as a complete integrated system. Equipment shall be
shielded. The system shall be designed to operate within 5 to 1000 MHz
bandwidth using 1000 MHz passive devices and a minimum of 750 MHz active
devices.
