MT 60728-1 - TC 100/MT 60728-1

IEC 60728-101:2016 is applicable to any cable network (including individual receiving systems) distributing only digital channels having in the forward path a coaxial cable output and primarily intended for television and sound signals operating between about 30 MHz and 3 000 MHz. This standard specifies the basic methods of measurement of the operational characteristics of a cable network having coaxial cable outputs in order to assess the performance of these systems and their performance limits.

It deal with cable networks including equipment and associated methods of measurement for headend reception, processing and distribution of television signals, sound signals and their associated data signals and for processing, interfacing and transmitting all kinds of signals for interactive services using all applicable transmission media. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: redrafting of introduction and scope to reflect the current scope of IEC TC 100/TA 5; redrafting of measurement procedure for bit error ratio (BER); updating of performance requirements in Clause 5; inclusion of new Clause 6; inclusion of new Clause 7; inclusion of new Annex K.
