Cisco uBR7200 Series Universal Broadband Router
The Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers
comprise the Cisco Cable Modem Termination
System (CMTS) solution. Two different chassis are available: the Cisco uBR7246 and
Cisco uBR7246VXR. The routers allow high-speed data services to be packaged similar to basic cable
television service or video fare.
The routers are based on Data-over-Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS) and support data
and packetized voice connectivity over a bidirectional cable television and IP backbone network. The
Cisco uBR7200 series routers typically concentrate traffic from DOCSIS- or EuroDOCSIS-based cable
interfaces and cable modems (or set-top boxes with integrated DOCSIS or EuroDOCSIS cable modems)
on the cable television network and present that traffic to local and remote IP hosts. For cable plants not
fully upgraded to support two-way cable transmission, the routers work in conjunction with dial-up
access products to support upstream traffic from DOCSIS-based cable interfaces connected to the Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). The routers support both 6-MHz North American channel plans
using ITU-T J.83 Annex B operation and 8-MHz Phase Alternating Line (PAL) and SEquential Couleur
Avec Memoire (SECAM) channel plans using ITU-T J.83 Annex A operation.
Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers contain some or all of the following:
•
Cable interface line cards that interface to the cable television network. The Cisco uBR7200 series
card set includes varying upstream-to-downstream interface ratios with differing bandwidth and
modulation schemes supported, as well as the capability to dynamically perform complex spectrum
management and operate in a 6-MHz or 8-MHz channel width environment.
See the
“Cisco Cable Interface Line Cards” section on page 1-17
.
•
Port adapters used in Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband routers connect to the IP backbone
and external networks.

“Cisco Port Adapters” section on page 1-18
