Obstacles to Overcome
Outside Plant
Age of Plant Condition of the Plant

H Home
Wiring
Bad wiring practices Bad connections Old wiring iring RFI

Home Network
Home wiring is the BIGGEST challenge
Phone & Coax wiring in most Homes
Home runs are best solution Coax outlets in convenient locations for TV service
RG-6 or better Minimize connections and splitters

Phone Wiring g
At least Cat3 or better No bridge taps

Home Network Connects all Components

DVR, Set Top Box, Computers

Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)

RFI introduced into drop from DSLAM to subscriber p RFI is introduced from various sources
Bug Zapper Dimmer Switch All electronics and computers (EMI) Florescent light ballast Motors washing machine, refrigerators, etc. RF controlled devices Power Grid AM/Ham Radio

C Concentration of RFI in MDUs f Filtering eliminates random noise from entering/exiting subscriber premises
optimizes Home Network Performance Reduces the noise floor
