ANSI/SCTE 151 2021

Mechanical, Electrical, and Environmental Requirements for RF Traps and Filters

Executive Summary

This document outlines the mechanical, electrical and environmental requirements for 75 ohm traps and filters.

Scope

The purpose of this specification is to provide the mechanical, electrical and environmental requirements for broadband radio frequency (RF) trap and filter devices whose primary purpose is to provide a fixed attenuation of RF signal(s) at user defined frequencies while preserving adjacent topology.

DOCSIS 4.0 specifications include operation at frequencies up to 1794 MHz. Many service providers would like to futureproof their networks for eventual operation up to 3000 MHz. This document provides specifications or procedures for frequencies up to 1794 MHz.

Benefits

This specification provides manufacturers and users of this product a basic set of standard dimensional and performance requirements from which to gauge design performance.

Intended Audience

This document is intended for installers, equipment manufacturers, and end users of this product.
