  • Fully compliant with all Cable Modems & Set top box communication.
  • "Clean up" the upstream band to enlarge the spectrum for ultra high speed internet.
  • Protect IP data against upstream RF noise impairments.
  • Docsis 3.0 + , Docsis 2.0 , docsis 1.0 approved.
  • Save the need for network upgarde.

Safecom's UPSTREAM NOISE BLOCKER is a revolutionary cost-effective RF noise suppression technology based on the patented IngressGate™ technology that enables CATV operators to optimize the upstream bandwidth and add advanced services with no interference by eliminate the RF and ingress noises reside in the upstream path. Unlike standard solutions for ingress detection and monitoring, Safecom's IngressGate™ technology eliminates 70-90% of the ingress noise by addressing the source of the problem where most ingress noise is created while providing the amplified signal - at the customer premises.   

How does it work?   

Safecom's Upstream noise blocker (US patent 8850505) technology is based on the burst nature of the return path and the random presence of ingress or RF noise. The technology functions as an upstream gateway that allows carrier signals from customer premises into the network only when the home devices are actively transmitting. This mode of operation eliminates most of the ingress noise without any adverse effect on the upstream and downstream signals. Safecom's IngressGate™ technology supports DOCSIS 3.0 that requires switching speed faster than 1.6 μS and ensures the most reliable and cost effecting solution for upstream ingress noise.

Conclusion:

Blocking upstream noise on the RFoG & HFC network using Safecom's noise blocker will allow designers to reach highest performances before expensive upgrading and installing special fiber optics components. 

  • RF & ingress Noise reduction by > 28dB.

  • Without RF swicth or relay.

  • Response time < 1 m sec. (Docsis 3 & Docsis 2)

  • No impact of an active return transmission.

  • Eliminates the use of filters or other expensive ingress protection components.

  • Lowering the noise floor.

  • Plug and play device.

  • No need for expensive monitoring or useless detection.

  • Simple integration outdoor or indoor.

  • Without any RF or Mechanical switch.

  • Life time operation.
