Some installs will require a return path for video on demand and other special features.
In the event that the system uses a DOCSIS or FSK return, it will be necessary to provide
a Bi-Directional Cascade Backbone, as shown below. In addition, Diplexer GigaBOBs will
be required at all displays. If an IP based return path is used, Bi-Directional cascading is
not required.
