The networks of cable operators are much less widespread than the electrical
network and generally have few TV sockets. However, such networks can end up
complementing the electrical network due to their relatively constant speed, which
in any case is more stable than that of the electrical network.
Since a cable TV network is a shared network, its speed is divided by the num-
ber of users on the medium.
The PLC cable TV devices use several types of connectors, in particular F-type
connectors for connection to cable TV. Over a cabled network, the propagation dis-
tance generally is 500 to 700m while keeping a high useful throughput.
Figure 7.15 illustrates, from the left to the right, a Corinex CableLAN cable TV
PLC modem, coaxial cables, a F-type connector, and a Channel Vision splitter.
PLC cable TV modems have evolved at the same time as the HomePlug
technologies and their bit rate. These modems can be used for the two following
applications:
