IEC TR 60728-6-1:2006

provides guidelines and procedures for determining the overall performance of optical transmissions systems used in cable networks for television signals, sound signals and interactive services. It is based on the requirements for optical equipment defined in IEC 60728-6 and should be used together with this standard. The information provided is meant to help field engineers and network planners (system designers) in planning and designing optical systems. Though this content is less dense than in a standard, basic knowledge about system parameters of cable networks is needed.
